That night, in the same hospital, two of the rescued babies died from smoke poisoning. Two others died in Dellwood. Next day, despite desperate treatment with oxygen and penicillin, four more of the babies died. One by one, as the hours wore by and mothers prayed and doctors worked, the other victims of the smoke-filled night succumbed until only two were left...
