A special birthday party was held for a couple of twins at Tufts Medical Center Thursday, where they were born. Twins are often born within minutes or hours, but these twins were actually born more than three weeks apart. The nurses and doctors who cared for them were there with the twins and their parents to celebrate the special birthday.
In February 2014 Lindalva da Silva gave birth to one of her twin sons- Alexandre Antunes early, but doctors at Tufts Medical Center were able to keep the second twin growing inside.
Ronaldo Antunes arrived 24 days later, on March 26, making Thursday his first birthday. "One year later we are here celebrating," said Jonathan Antunes, the boys' father. "It looks like it was yesterday. It's unbelievable. Grateful to be here celebrating their first year."
Both boys are doing well, a real gift to the nurses and doctors who cared for them. The boys' mother had a simple message of gratitude to the nurses and doctors who helped her and her babies.
"Thank you, thank you," says da Silva. "That's the only word. Thank you so much."
