Krishna has woken after coming slowly out of her medically-induced coma following surgery to separate her from her twin sister.
Krishna and Trishna, formally joined at the head, were separated after a marathon 31 hour operation on Monday and Tuesday at Melbourne's Royal Children's Hospital.
Trishna woke up on Thursday morning and was talking and cuddling her legal guardian Moira Kelly of the Children First Foundation (CFF), which was instrumental in bringing the twins from a Bangladesh orphanage to Melbourne.
A spokeswoman for CFF says the girls are being cared for in the paediatric intensive care unit at the hospital and are recovering well.
'The girls will be together in intensive care for the next few days.'
The hospital's director of neurosurgery Wirginia Maixner said MRI scans on Wednesday revealed no damage had been suffered by the girls' brains during the operation, prompting her to perform a quick 'chicken dance' of joy.
