Although alive, the staff was well aware of the fragility of the little patients. Technology and staff would be doing their utmost to increase chances both girls would make it. At one point after 3 weeks one of the girls suffered from serious complications with a lowering heart rate, respiration and oxygen level. A nurse decided to put the more healthier of the babies in the same incubator as her sister. What happened next is history and actually changed healthcare. When she wrapped her arm around her little sister in need, she instantaneously started to breath normally, heart rate went up and her oxygen level started to raise again. <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.viralnova.com\/newborn-baby-saves-twin\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The story<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> hit the news worldwide and the picture above was on the covers of all the major magazines.
