A medical mixup in Indiana has resulted in the deaths of two premature infants -- five-day-old D'myia Sabrina Nelson and two-day-old Emmery Miller. The parents of four other babies are praying for their childrens' quick recovery. All six of the infants were accidentally given adult doses of the drug Heparin, which is often used to prevent blood clots in premature babies. The adult doses had inadvertently been placed in the Newborn Intensive Care Unit, and were then mistaken for the child dosage as the adult and children doses apparently have similar packaging. Of the remaining four children affected by this mistake, three were in stable condition as of September 18, and one in critical condition.

Awww...
That's sad... I feel sorry for the innocent babies and for their parents as well... What if it was their first born child?
The people in the hospital should be very careful most especially with the newly born babies...

I live in Indiana! Yeah, get some different packaging for each one or hire doctors that aren't idiots like that. Although, I'm sure it was a mistake, still.
