A California judge has ruled that a mother of triplets who became severely disabled from medical errors during their delivery has a right to see her 4-year-old children.

The tentative ruling in Los Angeles came in the custody battle involving 34-year-old Abbie Dorn, who is a paraplegic and communicates only by blinking, and her ex-husband, Daniel, who divorced her three years ago, the Los Angeles Times reports.

Superior Court Judge Frederick C. Shaller wrote that although "there is no compelling evidence that the visitations by the children will have any benefit to Abby …there is no compelling evidence that visitation with Abby will be detrimental to the children."

He ruled that she may see her daughter, Esti, and sons Reuvi and Yossi for a five-day visit each year and once a month online via Skype, pending a trial in the custody case.

Daniel Dorn has custody and has been raising the children in the Los Angeles area. Abbie Dorn lives in Myrtle Beach, S.C., with her parents, who are her conservators.
