Dennis Quaid’s newborn twins are fighting for their lives after being inadvertently overdosed at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles.  The twins were born to Quaid and wife Kimberly Buffington November 8 via surrogate.

TMZ is reporting that Thomas Boone and Zoe Grace — were accidentally given a massive does of Heparin, an anti-coagulant. Babies typically get 10 units. Our sources says they were each mistakenly given 10,000 units. The drug is used to flush out IV lines and prevent blood clots. We’re told one dose was given on Sunday morning, another on Sunday evening. Allegedly a technician stored the Heparin in the wrong place, and when a nurse grabbed the medicine for the babies without looking — it was the wrong dosage. As many as thirteen patients were mistakenly given the overdose of Heparin, but the effects are more critical because of the age and weight of the twins.

Both babies started to “bleed out” late Sunday night and are now at Cedars in the neo-natal intensive care unit where we’re told they are stable.  A source says the babies are now being given Protamine, which reverses the effects of Heparin.   Our sympathies to the Quaid family and we pray for the twins to have a speedy recovery.
