Quaid’s Newborns In Distress
20 11 2007
Actor Dennis Quaid and his wife Kimberly Buffington welcomed twins via surrogate on November 8th. Now the poor babies are fighting for their lives after being inadvertently overdosed at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles according to TMZ.
The twins, Thomas Boone and Zoe Grace, were accidentally given a massive dose of Heparin, an anti-coagulant used to flush out IV lines and prevent blood clots. Babies typically get 10 units. TMZ's sources say they were each mistakenly given 10,000. Could you imagine!
According to a TMZ source, the babies started "bleeding out" and are now given Protamine, which reverses the effects of Heparin.
As of the last update the babies are in the Cedar's neo-natal intensive care unit and are in stable condition. But get this; this is not the only incident. There have been 13 patients mistakenly given higher amounts of Heparin. Someone needs to investigate that hospital!
I hope all is well with these little babies.
