Tests on the twin girls in April 2007 showed that Tatiana's heart is working harder than her sister's and that she has high blood pressure because of it. Tatiana is smaller and less robust than Krista. a surgery is planned to gve Krista's heart a "jump start" so Tatiana's heart will not have to work so hard.

On CTV News on August 3, 2007, it was declared the girls cannot be separated.
