Local News in Brief : 2 Surviving Triplets
The two surviving infants of the world’s first triplets born from frozen embryos were reported in good and improving condition nearly a week after their birth.
The parents of the triplets, born Jan. 13, were identified for the first time as Sandra Luckman, 35, and her husband, Richard, of Grand Terrace, about 60 miles east of Los Angeles.
The children were born 2 1/2 months premature at the California Medical Center in Los Angeles.
“One of the boys is named Jonathan. He’s in good condition at Kaiser, Fontana,” medical center spokeswoman Gwen Young said. “The other is named Jason. He’s stable and improving at UC Irvine Medical Center.”
The third triplet, a girl who died Thursday, was named Jenna, Moore said.
