Twenty-five years later in the city's birth histo^ Dallas mother delivers quintuple
Fcil
DALLAS (AP) — Sonia Zuniga came up one child
shy of birthing her own "Brady Bunch."
Believed to be the first quintuplets in Dallas since
1975, the four boys and a girl were born Monday to Mrs.
Zuniga, 30, of Arlington. The births took four minutes.
"It was too fast," her husband, Victor Zuniga, told
The Dallas Morning News through a translator. "I
thought it would take longer."
The babies, born 10 weeks premature, all weighed
in at less than 3 pounds but were healthy, said Park
land Hospital officials.
Mrs. Zuniga was tired but otherwise healthy, said
doctors who planned to release her from the hospi
tal in four to five days.
The infants are in critical condition today at Park
land's neonatal intensive care unit.
Daughter Alexa is now on a respirator and three of
the boys are getting extra oxygen at Parkland's inten
sive care unit, said Dr. Charles Rosenfeld, a professor
of pediatrics and obstetrics-gynecology at the Univer
sity of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas.
"They're in good shape and expected to do well,"
Rosenfeld said, adding that the next 96 hours will be
critical to monitoring the infants' breathing.
Babies born this early have a 90 percent survival
rate, he said.
The firstborn, Edgar, weighed 2 pounds, 11.5
ounces upon arrival at 3:1 7 p.m. the hospital said.
He was followed by Aldo (2 pounds, 12.3 ounces)
at 3:17 p.m., Diego (2 pounds, 4 ounces) at 3:18
p.m., Alexa (2 pounds, 12.5 ounces) at 3:19 p.m. and
Ivan (2 pounds, 15 ounces) at 3:20 p.m.
Diego was the only child who did not require help
breathing, doctors said.
"He's the strong one, but he's also the littlest one,"
said Dr. Ron Ramus, who delivered the children.
Zuniga said he was ecstatic about his instant fam
ily, but added that he's finished having children.
"No more babies," he said, adding that he has a
one-bedroom apartment.
His wife was awake throughout the deliveries,
Ramus said.
"I think she was relieved the end was near," he said.
The Zuniga quintuplets will likely spend the next
six to eight weeks in Parkland's neonatal intensive
care unit at a cost of more than $1,000 perch
day, the newspaper said.
They were conceived by in vitro fertilization
weeks ago, spokeswoman Audrey Reed Grange'
The hospital said the Zunigas had beenti
conceive naturally for four years before
fertility treatment.
Mrs. Zuniga has been at the hospital since^
1 9, when she was admitted for treatmento//)// 1
tension. Otherwise, doctors called theprajt®]
uneventful, but more than 40 personnelonh
for the deliveries.
The only other set of quintuplets everbornin
Dallas-Fort Worth area were delivered on |uly
1975, at Parkland, the hospital said.
