“The babies almost lost their lives several times during those first few weeks,” she said. “We didn’t want to sleep because we didn’t know if they would still be alive when we woke up.”“It was extremely draining — mentally, emotionally and physically,” Nadarajah added. “We became each other’s biggest support, and the doctors, nurses and social workers at the hospital helped us to get through it.”
In time, as the twins gained weight and overcame the most serious challenges, the couple said, they were able to relax and look forward to taking them home.Both babies are growing and developing and will now receive checkups every four months to assess their health and progress, said Prakesh Shah, pediatrician in chief at Mount Sinai.
“We’re rooting for them every time they visit,” he said. “It’s extremely rewarding to see them succeed.” Holding the twins at their first birthday party was a sweet affirmation of everything they’d been through, Rajendram said. She and Nadarajah each gave an emotional speech to express their gratitude to doctors, family, and others who helped make the moment possible.
“We don’t know what the future holds, but we have no doubt that Adiah and Adrial will continue to thrive and do well,” she said. “Someday, when they’re older, I can’t wait to tell them all about the day they were born.”
