Tamilarasi and Balarama waited 26 years of marriage for a child. They were over the moon when they discovered that their prayers had been answered. An early scan confirmed that they were expecting twins. Everything was great until she started bleeding and went into premature labour in her 28th week. The family they had imagined might not turn into a reality if they cannot continue treatment for their babies.

Tamilarasi gave birth to premature twin babies, both weighing only 1 kilo
Tamilarasi was thrilled and she was eagerly waiting for the arrival of twins. Unexpectedly, her placenta detached and started bleeding. She was rushed to the hospital for an emergency C-section. A boy and a girl baby were born. Even before she could hold them in her hands, the twins were taken to NICU. The babies were born extremely premature weighing only 1 kg. They have respiratory distress and are on ventilator support.
Tamilarasi and Balarama are not able to take this situation, especially after being childless for 26 years. The twins are on tube feeds and need to stay in the hospital for 4-5 weeks until they recover from lung issues and to feed orally. They are waiting to take their babies home and live the life that they had yearned all these years.

Parents are desperate to take their babies home
Balarama and Tamilarasi are from a village in Tiruvannamalai district, Tamil Nadu. They had to travel 6 hours to reach the hospital. Tamilarasi is staying at her sister's house near the hospital. Balarama is running from pillar to post to make money and save his babies. He saves every rupee he earns. He skips meals and does not buy anything for him. Whatever little money he earns, he gives to his wife and again he goes to work.

The twins need to be on ventilator support for at least 6 more weeks
Balarama and Tamilarasi are allowed only for few minutes in the ICU. They wait day and night for those few moments. It is painful to see their newborn babies with tubes all over their bodies. The doctors said that they are recovering and are hopeful they will be completely fine in few weeks after the treatment is over.

"I was happy when I came to know that it was twins. I thought God had heard all my prayers and blessed us abundantly. Now I feel this is the worst punishment ever, to see my babies fighting for their life even before they experience life. I can't go home without them, I can't even imagine that." - Tamilarasi.
