not to mention all the long term complications of multibirth children...remember the Mcaugeys..(I know I misspelt that one)...I remember two of them were really challenged, and had feeding tubes and walkers, for a while...that brood was a challenge to the (notice the plurall usage here) PARENTS, who also had to have help....So far all the pictures I have seen looked to be taken in a NICU..(neonatal ICU)...now we get to watch for cerebral palsey, asthma related issues secondary to immature lungs, retrolental fibroplasia if too much O2 is used to compensate, maladsorption issues, delayed neural development, immune compromise due to fetal immaturity......Preemies go through hell to survive sometimes....opinion of the mother aside, I hope the kids develop ok, and make it quickly to become healthy toddlers
