The triplets—Ester, Sara, and Ruth—were welcomed into the world at an Orbis partner hospital called Santa Rosa in 2019. Now, they are rambunctious and playful two-year-olds, each with her own distinct personality. Sara is the happy one, Ester is the curious one, and Ruth is the independent one. While they may be different, they are all extremely adorable!
Soon after they were born, however, Elisa learned that her premature triplets were at risk for a condition called Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP). ROP is a condition that causes abnormal blood vessels to grow in the retina, causing it to detach from the back of the eye.
Without proper treatment, ROP will lead to blindness. In fact, the condition is the leading cause of childhood blindness worldwide.
