Report: Dennis Quaid’s Newborn Twins Accidentally Overdosed
Dennis Quaid and his family are in crisis today as his baby twins are reportedly fighting for their lives at a local hospital in Los Angeles.
TMZ says the fraternal twins, Thomas Boone and Zoe Grace, were accidentally given 10,000 units of Heparin, an anti-coagulant used to treat blood clots. Normally, babies receive just 10 units.
A dosage that high – 1,000 times stronger than normal – reportedly caused massive blood loss.
The twins were born to Dennis and his wife Kimberly Buffington via surrogate on Nov. 8.
Right now the twins are in neo-natal intensive care, reportedly receiving a drug that reverses the effects of Heparin.
