"They are terrible," groaned Mamá Inés Maria Cuervo de Prieto as the five boys celebrated their third birthday with the neighbor children in Maracaibo.

Once revived, the mother-to-be, the common-law wife of an oilfield worker, was tucked into bed at Maracaibo's University Hospital, put on a strict diet, and watched around the clock by doctors and nurses.
