Kaiser Permanente Bellflower Medical Center discharged two of the Suleman Octuplets from the hospital earlier this evening.

The discharged babies are:
Noah Angel (Baby A) - 5 lbs 13 oz
Isaiah Angel (Baby C) - 5 lbs

Both infants are able to bottle feed, are gaining weight and are able to maintain their body temperature.

"This is a happy moment for everyone - the family, physicians, nurses and entire NICU staff," said Mandhir Gupta, MD., Neonatologist at Kaiser Permanente Bellflower Medical Center. "It is always rewarding whenever a premature infant goes home as a healthy baby."

After several home visits Kaiser Permanente determined that Ms. Suleman has safe housing, sufficient child care support and the supplies and equipment needed to care for the first two octuplets.

The remaining six babies continue to progress well and remain at Kaiser Permanente Bellflower Medical Center. All continue gaining weight and remain on either formula or donated pasteurized breast milk.

The discharge was private at the request of the mother.
