Paul Jackson’s twins were born 12 weeks premature and weighed just 2 pounds. Everything seemed pretty good at first but things quickly turned around. By the time the twins turned 3 weeks, Brielle was struggling to breathe, her oxygen level dropped, her heartbeat was racing, and she began to turn blue. In the midst of the chaos, NICU nurse Gayle Kasparaian asked the parents if she could try something that has never been done before; She decided to put the stronger twin, Kyrie, in the same incubator with Brielle to initiate a skin-to-skin contact known as “Kangaroo Care” which was known to be effective in treating premies outside of the US. Within seconds, Kyrie put her tiny little arm over her sister in what the press would deem the “Rescuing Hug. ”Brielle’s vital signs and breathing almost instantly stabilized.
The twins currently are known to finish each other sentences, speak at the same time, and share the same thoughts.đź’•đź’•đź’•
