Houston - Three of the octuplets born last December to a US-naturalised Nigerian woman who took fertility drugs left the Texas Children's Hospital here yesterday in good health.
"Ebuka, Echerem and Jioke have made significant progress," said Dr Leonard Weisman, chief of the hospital's neo-natology department. They were the first-, third- and seventh-born octuplets, respectively.
"They were the first of the babies to begin bottle feedings and have consistently gained weight," he said.
