Jennifer Ramirez-Hernandez was born Monday, which is the one-month anniversary of Ike making landfall near Galveston. She was born at the University of Texas Medical Branch, which while still officially closed has opened up its 16-bed maternity unit to care for high-risk pregnancies.
The nursing staff at the special maternity unit has prepared special certificates to note that Jennifer, who weighed in at 7 pounds, 8 ounces, and other babies are among the first born on Galveston since Ike hit.
The storm slammed into the Texas Coast on Sept. 13 with a strong surge and winds of 110 mph, killing at least 37 people in Texas.
