HOLLYWOOD - Actor Dennis Quaid's newborn twins have been admitted to a Los Angeles hospital's intensive care unit after they were accidentally given a drug overdose.
Quaid and his wife Kimberly welcomed Thomas Boone Quaid and Zoe Grace Quaid into the world on Nov. 8--but the tots are now fighting for their lives at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.
Sources claim the babies were given 10,000 unit doses of anticoagulant Heparin by mistake on Sunday morning and again that evening--newborns usually get just 10 units, according to Web site TMZ.com.
The twins--who were carried by an unidentified surrogate mother--began to "bleed out" on Sunday night and were taken to the hospital's neonatal intensive care unit, where their condition is now said to be stable.
The babies are 53-year-old Quaid's second and third children--he already has a 17-year-old son with his ex-wife Meg Ryan.
