See Heartwarming Moment Premature Twins Held Hands As They Were Reunited In Same Incubator

Premature twin girls, Lily and Grace Johnstone, who spent their first seven weeks apart as they battled to survive, immediately held hands as they were finally placed side by side in the same incubator.

Both babies had to be put on ventilators so they could breathe, and because Lily had an infection, she had to be separated from her sister and treated with antibiotics. They were reunited later and remained snuggled up for the next two months they were treated in the hospital.

The pair, born 13 weeks early, weighed just 2lb when they were delivered by emergency caesarean section at Edinburgh Royal Infirmary.

They are now healthy one-year-olds and their mother Hannah Moore puts their amazing recovery down to their close bond.

She added that it had been an “emotional moment” to watch the twins grab each other’s hands, as it seemed as though they were reassuring each other that they would both be fine.

The twins became well enough to go home last August and have made a complete recovery.

Their mum added: “They are inseparable. They will be best friends for life.”
