Lawyers for Dennis Quaid's twins have settled their lawsuit with Cedars-Sinai, the hospital that made mistakes with the drug Heparin that almost killed the babies.
Under the terms of the settlement the hospital will pay each child $250,000.
Dennis Quaid and Kimberly Buffington previously settled their dispute with Cedars last December for $750,000.
According to the docs, the babies have "not recovered completely from the effects of the injuries." The docs says "the overdose has subjected the [children] to emotional and possible future injuries..."
Under the settlement, Cedars has agreed to provide future medical care for the twins if it's related to the hospital mishap.

We've gotten to the bottom of the David Hasselhoff mystery, and it ain't the way his ex is painting it.
Here's what we know. This past Saturday, David was at home with his daughter Hayley and there was a squabble. David had been drinking but nowhere near the level that his ex is painting it. The Hoff had not been feeling well, and the illness, combined with the alcohol, made a trip to the hospital prudent.
David walked to the car, where he was driven to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. He had not passed out, contrary to reports. He walked on his own power and was released yesterday.
Hasselhoff is fine, though he regrets drinking.
Bottom line -- David's ex, Pamela Bach, is on the warpath and her story just doesn't ring true.

Dennis Quaid returned to the hospital that almost killed his twins -- but he's now applauding Cedars-Sinai Medical Center for taking steps to make sure it never happens again.
As TMZ first reported, the twins nearly died last year when they were given an overdose of a blood thinner called Heparin, and on today's "Oprah" he toured Cedars to see how they've improved the system with computerized record keeping.
He looked pleased with the results -- and also said his kids are now "healthy and happy."

UPDATE: We've just learned Ed is in the ICU and his condition is "extremely serious." As one person close to him put it -- "It's not great, to say the least."
We're told Ed McMahon has been hospitalized for nearly a month with pneumonia, bone cancer and other medical problems.
McMahon's condition is "serious" which is pretty obvious given his age -- 85 -- and the fact he has pneumonia.
We contacted Ed's rep, Howard Bragman, who confirmed the hospitalization and added, "He's not at Cedars-Sinai" -- a dig on the hospital Ed is suing for alleged malpractice and elder abuse.

Dennis Quaid was at LAX yesterday, along with his wife, twins and the family Pug. Cedars-Sinai Medical Center will be shelling out $750,000 to the Quaid clan over a bungled procedure that almost killed their twin babies last year.
Families don't get much cuter than this. Your move Suri Cruise.

Two big hospital screw ups are front and center this weekend -- UCLA firing 13 workers who violated part confidentiality agreement by ratting out Brit, and Dennis Quaid opening up about a medical mess up at Cedars that almost killed his kids.
Is a careless nurse and an alleged cover-up worse than spilling secrets about a famous patient? You decide!
