I
wanted to update you on our status! Our triplets
were born on October 15th, 2004 at 32 weeks! Jack (4 lb, 1 oz), Cathryn
(3 lb, 10 oz) and Ava (4 lb) were all healthy, spent a little over a
month in the NICU, and all were home by Thanksgiving.
They continue
to thrive, and at 3.5 months they all weigh around 10 lbs each and are
smiling and laughing and starting to reach for things. Our house is
a very busy place these days, but we are loving every minute! I also
wanted to complement MOST on your excellent information - I look forward
to reading stories about other MOST families as they are always interesting, entertaining
and informative. Thanks!
Thanks
MOST for all you do. This organization has always been so helpful to
me!!!
Sincerely,
Misty, Mom of Alexa (15.6oz), Kameron (1lb 3oz), Izak (1lb 3oz), Halee
(1lb 4oz), Chase (1lb 6oz) 24 weeks 2 days
The
first triplet mother I met was Sue Walsh. I am so thankful for Sue's
support and friendship.
I
also remember being on bedrest and having Maureen Boyle call me. She
gave me tons of great advice, and with that, hope. I was impressed that
she took time out of her busy schedule to call me.
I
always rely on information from MOST to give me a realistic view of life with
multiples. I truly appreciate not sugar-coating the challenges, while
still celebrating the joys.
MOST
has been a great help to me in so many ways! Whenever I think I can't
do it anymore I read about other MSOT families and then everything
seems okay again!
MOST
has really helped my family especially when I was pregnant with our
triplets, but MOST was exactly what I needed to
get me through.
The
online forums are very helpful. I can see how others have
coped with a certain obstacle. And being able to call has made things
easier for me to have that support.
Thanks!
Our
family has so very much to be thankful for this holiday season, and
MOST is right up there on the list! Our GBGB quads are 3 years old,
and we just don't know where we would be without MOST, and especially
without the QQS group.
In late February and early March of 2001, we
were facing a very difficult decision, with one of our doctors recommending
pregnancy reduction, while the other doctor was telling us that he would support
us no matter which decision we chose.
Through a friend from church,
we were guided to MOST and the QQS group. Not
only were you inspirational in helping us make our decision to keep
all of our babies, but you provided invaluable information and support
through a very difficult pregnancy.
Due to complications, I started
partial bed rest at just 6 weeks and ended up in the hospital on full
bed rest at 18 weeks. I spent almost 13 weeks in the hospital and experienced
a few more complications along the way, but every minute of every day
was worth it because we now have four beautiful, healthy and terrific
children that we are so very proud of! We continue to enjoy the QQS group three years later for all of the wonderful insight other moms
of multiples have to share. Your experiences, advice and words of wisdom
certainly make life a little easier on us all. Thank you, thank you,
thank you ... and may you all have a safe and happy holiday season!
A
few years ago we were having an especially difficult time. I was going
through many medical issues and not feeling well. As with most families
with children, our budget was tight. We were managing, but things had
definitely been easier than that year. I specifically remember the day
that I was touched by MOST.
It was Christmas morning and we went outside
to realize there was a large package on our front porch. It was a care
package from someone from MOST. In the package there were clothes, toys,
and other things that definitely lifted our spirits. We also received
our membership free for that year and were so very grateful. This is
one of the things that we probably would have had to do without. We
felt as though an “angel” had really
touched our lives. We have no idea who had sent the package, and have
no idea how it was realized that we were having a difficult time. As
usual even through the difficult times, I am still “supermom”
and just don’t let others know when things are tough. Thank you
to all of the caring people at MOST, you have definitely touched many
lives.
My
husband and I had only had our quadruplets home for about a month when
two became ill with RSV and ended up in the hospital. It was a very
worrisome and exhausting time for us. MOST provided us with a lot of
information that helped us to understand RSV and what we could do as
parents. They let us know about the Synagis shot and were there for
moral support. It meant a lot to us that there were people who had experienced
the same thing and were so willing to offer there advice and support.
I couldn't get over how quickly my phone call was returned.
Also
MOST was a big part of my life when I was pregnant. I looked forward
to reading about other MSOT families and I still do! As parents of multiples your lives quickly change
and where I live there isn't a lot of support for people with higher
order multiples, as in there isn't a lot of people in the same situation
that you can learn from, so when I talk with other MSOT families, for a
brief moment, feel like our situation is as normal as everyone else's
because I can relate to their stories of
multiples. Thank
you MOST!

Thanks,
I can't tell you how much MOST has meant to me. We never expected multiples
and had never met any multiple families (except twins, of course). Although
our doctors did not pressure us to reduce, neither did they present
continuing the pregnancy as an option. We just did not feel comfortable
with reduction.
The
support I have found here is wonderful. I am 16 weeks now and feel great
so far. With
sincere thanks, a
friend for life
