Cassie’s Story:

Cassie’s triplets were born at 26+2 via emergency c section due to baby A’s water breaking. Cora was 2.3 pounds, Cole was 2.1 pounds, and Carter was 2.2 pounds. They came home in birth order at 88, 103 and 120 days. Cora had a grade 3 brain bleed, a PDA gap which was repaired in the NICU. Cole had a bowel perforation at 5 days old which resulted in 3 surgeries and a ostomy for 8 weeks. Carter was born with a VSD and PDA gap. His VSD closed on its own and the PDA gap was closed when he was 3 in the cath lab and has a small coil which closed the hole from the PDA. He was on oxygen for 100 days. Both boys have congenital hypothyroidism which they take 2 medications daily to help treat. They are now 5.5 years old- meeting all of the age milestones and thriving. They are so proud of their miracles!
