Thanks for the heads-up, Pamela.  I might have missed the article in the
paper.  Here's a website for those of you wanting to know more.

No mention of breastfeeding in this article.  All babies are living, and
weigh between 11 ounces and 1 lb 11 ounces.  The mother was not only on
bedrest the last 2 weeks, she was fed intravenously to make more room
for the babies to grow.  Amazing!

Texas Children's Hospital is one of the best.  I know there is excellent
support for expressing mother's milk for premies.

The article says the hospital has received calls from Australia and
Africa - Pamela, was that you? :-D
