Parents of surviving babies on roller coaster

The infants are suffering from the same complications that resulted in the deaths of nine newborns in the unit in June and their condition fluctuates from stable to regression One of the early survivors died last week.

Social Security official Gustavo Santamaría stated that the three babies "are getting better" but that there are times when their condition is stable and other times when it deteriorates.

He said it is possible that one of them will soon be discharged.
The investigation into the deaths is continuing with International experts  also working on the case.
