Newborn Twins of Dennis Quaid In Dire Medical State

Dennis Quaid's newborn twins are fighting for their lives after accidentally being overdosed with medicine in Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles.

The twins Thomas Boone and Zoe Grace were accidentally given a massive dose of Heparin, a drug that serves as an anti-coagulant. Babies are supposed to receive 10 units. Apparently, they were each mistakenly given 10,000 units.

The drug is used to flush out IV lines and prevent blood clots. According to reports, they were given one dose on Sunday morning and another on Sunday evening.

According to sources, both babies started to "bleed out." Both babies are now at Cedars in the neo-natal intensive care unit where we're told they are stable.

The twins were born to Quaid and wife Kimberly Buffington on November 8 via surrogate.

The babies are now being given Protamine, which reverses the effects of Heparin.
