WASHINGTON — After his heart rate began dropping, one of the septuplets born last week was put back on a ventilator. But the doctor overseeing the babies' care said he was not alarmed.
"I don't consider this as a setback at all," Dr. Siva Subramanian, chief of neonatology at Georgetown University Hospital, said Tuesday, one day after the baby was put back on the ventilator. "If anything, it's very, very mild because this is something we expect."
