The Twins Are Here, My Friend Is A DAD!!!! Bittersweet....
Before I say anything, I would like to thank all of you for the prayers and information you shared. I said it in my original post and I'll say it again, I am truly humbled by the kind thoughts and generosity. The men and women of this site never cease to amaze me.
Now onto the news...
I'm not sure if you guys remember but I have a friend whose wife was PG with twins Angel and Boxer...
Well, anyway, the M2B gave birth, here's the news straight from my friend, the dad. It's a shame, right to the bitter end, they had problems with the care she received just about thruoghout this pregnancy. Here's the news...
I'm thrilled to inform all of you of the birth of our babies, Daniella Angela (Boxer) and Angelo Gabriel (Angel)!! Donna's labor began last night, 1/27, at about 7:30pm.
She began vomiting profusely, had diarrhea and abdominal pains. Her moronic, ding-bat, incompetent nurse told her she probably has a stomach virus and gave her some anti-nausea meds.
After a few hours of vomiting, etc., she told the nurse she felt like she was having contractions. Moron nurse put her on the monitor and after a 1/2 hour told her that they were not contractions and abdominal pains were from all the vomiting. She told us she spoke with the resident doctor on duty and she confirmed that it must be a stomach virus and that there was nothing that can be done for her except to keep her on fluids and anti-nausea meds every 4 hours. This was at about 1am.
After hearing this, I decided to go home because I had to work t 6am and it seemed that there were no contractions and nothing that could be done about the stomach virus.... BAD DECISION ON MY PART!
After I left, Donna's abdominal pains got worse and worse until she was screaming and writing in pain. The moron nurse called the moron resident who came to her room and again told her she had a stomach virus and the pains were resulting from the constant vomiting. Both the moron nurse and moron resident told her to she had to deal with the pain because there was nothing that could be done. They then proceeded to ignore her for the rest of the night! She was screaming in agonizing pain and no one helped her! I was home sleeping and no one called me!
When the day shift nurses came in at 7am... the competent nurses... the immediately realized she was in labor and brought her down to labor and delivery.
Her OBG was called and they performed a c-section on her. The babies were born at 7:52am (Angelo) and 7:53am (Daniella).
I arrived at the hospital at about 8:45am after braving the subway back to Queens and then a snowstorm while driving to the hospital.
Daniella was 2lbs 2oz. and Angelo was 1lb 12oz. Daniella is doing well! She's breathing on her own, which is a big accomplishment, and her color and activity is good.
Our little Angelo had to be put on a ventilator as his lungs were too under-developed and he could not breathe on his own. Angelo fought the good fight for as long as he could, but he finally passed at about 5:45pm 
The neonatal doctor told us when the end was near so Donna and I were able to be with him until he passed. It was very emotional and sad, but we're glad we were able to be with our son in his final moments... happy that we could thank him for saving his sister. He truly is an Angel!
Donna is resting comfortably right now. She's doing well and she probably be in the hospital for at least 4 days. We want to thank all of you for all your prayers and support, they really did help us! God bless you all!

Re: The Twins Are Here, My Friend Is A DAD!!!! Bittersweet....
 I've been following her blog reigiously since you posted it. I can't even imagine the anguish & joy mixed together like that.
I'm so glad Boxer is ok. I hope she improves & gets out of that hospital as quickly as possible.I know I've resisted tracking down that hell-hole of a hospital & asking if they wanted food deliveries. The Board of Health should shut that place down from what she's posted.
I'm so sad about Angel. I know it was expected, but from her posts it seems that that hope of something better never died. I'm glad they were able to be with him & that he survived delivery. His will to survive wrapped up in that tiny body amazes me.
Please let your friend know we are all praying for Boxer/Daniella.

Oh how awful. I hope they file some lawsuit when they're out of there and things have settled down for the care (or lack of) that she received.  So many for this family.

Re: The Twins Are Here, My Friend Is A DAD!!!! Bittersweet....
I ahve been religiously following her updated blog also--I am so pizzed at the hospital she is in and teh care she has not gotten in her jail cell of a room!
Congrats to them on the birth of their babies! And Angel was a fighter to the bitter end! I am so thankful he survived delivery, and that they were able to have him for the precious time they did.
I will continue my prayers for sweet Daniella.  
THanks for the update--I hadn;t signed on yet today.
