On Their Own Two Feet

摘要

Cindy hickman nearly bled to death the day she gave birth-three months prematurely-to her triplet sons. ghing less than 2 lbs. each, her babies were alive, but barely. They clung so tenuously to life that her doctors recommended she name them A, B and C. Then, after a year of heroic interventions-brain shunts, tracheotomies, skull remodeling-often requiring emergency helicopter rides to the hospital nearest their rural Tennessee home, the Hickmans learned that their triplets had cerebral palsy.
