They had finally conceived through in-vitro fertilization and were excited to finally have the babies they longed for. Although Erica had been rushed to the hospital with high blood pressure, the couple had every reason to believe all would be well. Life News reports that Erica posted the following on Facebook while she was in the hospital:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>[The doctor] said I have to get admitted until delivery. It\u2019s been down lower today but it\u2019s too late.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>She then wrote:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>He will push deliver up, or stall it to to 34 weeks.

He wish they could all go this way, but this last part we have to do it carefully because you can stroke out with bad blood pressure.

But, she left her wishes for them in an iPad note, including instructions for them to learn both English and Spanish, attend college, and have successful careers.<\/p>\n<p>Carlos told <em>People<\/em> that these two events have been the most joyful and most tragic experiences of his life.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-60768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.liveactionnews.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/carlos-and-babies.png\" alt=\"Carlos and his children.\" width=\"669\" height=\"424\" srcset=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/carlos-and-babies.png 669w, https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/carlos-and-babies-300x190.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 669px) 100vw, 669px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I went from having the best day of my life to the next morning experiencing the worst day of my life,&#8221; Carlos told <em>People<\/em>. &#8220;My four babies came into the world and then my wife died.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Carlos intends to see the wishes his wife had for their children fulfilled, and he told <a href=\"http:\/\/www.people.com\/article\/quadruplets-carlos-erica-morales-dies\"><em>People<\/em><\/a> that he will try his hardest to make sure it happens.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>I&#8217;m learning everything from how to give them a bath, CPR, feeding, and how to manage their sleep schedule.
