The operation on Friday went very well indeed. In fact, according to Doctors

Villamil and Podestá it could not have gone any better.

Doctors Adriani and Podestá participated in twin operation which lasted all day.

There were no complications, and both Amela and Jasmin are progressing normally. In fact, Jasmin is listed out of danger, and was smiling today.
