Twins Born at 27 Weeks Reunite With Their Care Team at Sports Day

Twins Born at 27 Weeks Reunite With Their Care Team at Sports Day

Twins Haon and Sion were born at 27 weeks and three days of pregnancy, well before their expected arrival.

They weighed just 580 grams and 800 grams at birth and received care in a neonatal intensive care unit.

Their parents said the early days were frightening, as the babies were so small and fragile.

Recently, former patients and their families gathered with medical staff at a sports day in a university gym in Seoul.

Children who once needed incubators ran and played together, giving families a chance to see how much they had grown.

The event also brought the children back together with the clinicians who had cared for them.
