The DR's second set of sextuplets celebrated their first birthday in great health yesterday, and well-wishers helped cut a large cake at the Maternidad Nuestra Senora de la Altagracia where they were born, as reported in Listin Diario. The mother, Magdalena Rodriguez, calls her family, "the army." The family also commemorated the death of one of the prematurely born sextuplets. Times have been trying for the family, as they meet the challenge of supporting the five surviving babies, four girls and one boy, who consume about seven cans of milk and 330 diapers per week. The children, named Ciara, Keila, Luis Manuel, Kira, and Kiara, were born on 25 May 2007. The family gets RD$20,000 a month from the Ministry of Public Health to help with costs. They have also received donations from many businesses and individuals.
