The successful delivery, while a joyous occasion for the family, also brought to light the significant challenges they face. The mother, Dariany Mercedes Acosta, 27, and her husband expressed overwhelming gratitude for the hospital's exceptional care, stating, "This is my greatest blessing." The birth was particularly notable given the complexities of a high-order multiple pregnancy. Dr. [Doctor's Name], involved in the delivery, explained that the pregnancy presented complications due to the multiplicity and the mother's pre-existing conditions. The babies were born prematurely at 31 weeks and remain in incubators at HOMS. The family, residing in Rio Seco, La Vega, and relying on the father's work as a construction worker, appealed for support from authorities and the community to secure better housing.
