Our triplet pregnancy was like many others, I am sure. I was put on bedrest very early on (around 12 weeks). At around 26 weeks my pubic symphysis separated (OUCH - pain that is indescribable when you consider I still had three babies resting on that breaking bone for another 7+ weeks!). I had severe gestational diabetes and was hospitalized at 30 weeks and put on twice daily heparin injections to ward off blood clots since I could not move because my pelvis was broken. I went into labor at 32w6d. They gave me IV fluids, procardia and finally magnesium sulfate. The mag sulfate did eventually stop my labor and they then gave me steroids for the babies lungs. Unfortunately, I kept going into labor so they would up the mag sulfate until the steroids had done their thing and then they delivered my little miracles.

They join brothers Donald, August 21, 1994 and Michael, February 4, 1998. They were born at 31 weeks 6 days gestation. Kevin and Gregory were released from the hospital on February 4, 2000. John, after battling with NEC, was released from the hospital on February 20, 2000. We had a tough time when Kevin and Gregory came home. On February 18, 2000 Kevin and Gregory were both hospitalized with RSV. Kevin had the more severe case and almost died. He was put back on a ventilator at the time. So, we were running between our rural home to two different hospitals. The boys are now doing terrific. They are in speech therapy for minor delays. To look at them, you can't tell that they were premies!! Its hard to believe that our 3 lb. babies are now all but 30 lbs!!!!

Dave and Esther Tyler are the proud parents of 7 of God's precious blessings. In addition to Garrett - 12 1/2, Benjamin - 11, Samuel - 6, and Anna - 3 we have triplets that just celebrated their first birthday on June 9, 2001. They were born at 35 weeks. Emily weighed 4# 9 oz, Jonathan 4# 11 oz and Andrew 4# 14 oz and came home at 9, 17 and 15 days old. We could not do it without our older children - they are tremendous helps. We also would be floundering without the help of our wonderful church family. Although life is hectic now, I can't help but wonder what it will be like in a couple of years with 3 three year olds and two teenagers! I would love to be a resource to other triplet parents/parents to be, especially those with older children and any who would like to find a good church that would be able to help them out.
