Rare Surgery Done On Baby Born With Four Legs

A West African baby born with two spines and four legs is recovering from a rare surgery in Illinois.  Surgeons had to separate bone, blood vessels and nerves in the six hour operation at Advocate Children's Hospital in Park Ridge earlier this month.  Ten-month-old Dominique was born in the Ivory Coast with what's known as a parasitic twin.  The other twin never fully developed.  Doctors expect Dominique to live a normal, fully functional life.
