MIAMI - Many people in Puerto Rico are in need of medical help after Hurricane Maria, including infants, some of whom were brought to South Florida to receive treatment.


It was a race against time to save three critical babies, all of whom would have died in Puerto Rico if they didn't get the surgeries that they needed at Nicklaus Children's Hospital in Miami.


All of the infants were born with complex congenital heart defects right before Hurricane Maria battered the island.
