A pair of twins from New York have overcome incredible odds and are home with their family, having beaten numerous dangers and complications. Vince and Pauly Salmonese are finally home with their parents, Dana and Joe, in Huntington, New York, after surviving Twin to Twin Transfusion Syndrome (TTTS), a premature delivery, and a NICU stay \u2014 all during the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n

Shortly after announcing their twin pregnancy on Facebook, Salmonese said she woke up to severe bleeding. “I thought I had lost them. It was the scariest moment of my entire life,\u201d she said in an interview with PEOPLE<\/a>. \u201cThere was no doubt in my mind that I was miscarrying.\u201d After rushing to the hospital, Salmonese received an ultrasound, where she was diagnosed with a subchorionic hematoma. Her babies were given a 50\/50 chance of survival, and Salmonese was put on bed rest. By 17 weeks, she had stopped bleeding, and was able to pick up their daughter, Gianna, again. \u201cI was excited to have a normal pregnancy from there on out, but it didn\u2019t happen that way,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
