The first twin entered the Casa Jackson on January 27,
2009 he was Miguel Antonio with a weight of 7.7 lb (3.5 kg) and Miguel Angel arrived
on February 1 with a weight of 8.2 lb (3.7 kg).They were
referred by the National Hospital of San Juan de Dios de Guatemala, to continue
their nutritional recovery. The mother took her children to the hospital because Miguel Antonio became ill, having seizures with high fevers
and Miguel Angel had jaundice.They were
in the hospital for a month before coming to the Casa Jackson.The
mother could not work and suffers from polio, using crutches to be able to move.She has 2 older sons,
one 13 and one 9, so the father of the twins took care of them, and according
to the Social Worker of San Juan de Dios hospital, they were living in extreme
poverty with no power or water.
