In Health Watch:Doctors say the California octuplets are doing just fine.Still, they have a long road ahead before they get out of the hospital.Jennifer London has more.The octuplets born at this California hospital continue to beat the odds.All eight are breathing on their own... And some have already started feeding.Still there are many challenges ahead for the babies, born 9 weeks premature..Dr. Martha Caprio says, 'when an infant is born at 31 weeks, or what we call extreme prematurity at 24 weeks, they can be fraught with difficulty walking, talking, or hearing deficits.The six boys and two girls are still in the neo-natal unit...Each weighs less than four pounds.They are so delicate, their mom hasn't been able to hold them yet.Dr. Gupta says, 'the babies are still in incubators so we want to make sure they are stable... Their vitals are stables before she can hold them.'But even after that happens, they are expected to remain in the hospital for at least 2 months...'Dr. Caprio says, 'They could be there longer if they succumb to an infection or their feeding does not go as one would expect to be, if they tolerate their feeds every day.'These are only the second live octuplets ever in the US.To have 8 babies survive is rare.Odds drop dramatically after three because there's less room for them to develop in the womb.But doctors seem hopeful that the nation's newest octuplets will all pull through and soon be able to begin their life outside of their hospital room.Jennifer London, CBS News, Bellflower, California
