DULUTH, Ga. -- Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan expressed relief about the health of his wife, Sarah, and their newborn twins following complications related to the pregnancy.
Sarah Ryan revealed on Instagram she was placed on hospital bed rest on Jan. 9 due to those complications. Six weeks later, she gave birth to the couple's first children. The twin boys were in the NICU -- an intensive care unit specializing in the care of ill or premature newborn infants -- for more than a month each. Sarah Ryan thanked the staff at Atlanta's Northside Hospital for helping the family in a trying period as the "small but tough'' boys fought through.
