These ABC triplets were born 9/28/04, 12 wks early. Avery weighed in at 2 lbs 9 oz., Cora 2 lbs 1 oz., and little Brock 1 lb 11 oz.. The girls each had several preemie issues, but they faired quite well. Brock however had the toughest time. He suffered a grade 4 brain hemmorage on the left side, and a grade 3 on the right. He had seizures, developed hydrocephalus, required heart surgery, and had an IV line infiltrate which led to necrosis (loss) of his left hand fingertips,not to mention numerous other issues. He also has been diagnosed with optic nerve atrophy in which he has virtually no vision except some light perception.
All 3 are miracles in and of themselves, yet Brock overcame a 1% chance of making it to be with his sisters today! Brock proved that doctors only know what the textbooks tell them and my little man didn't read the books! He continues to amaze us with his abilities and charm us with his personality.
We are so blessed to have our 3 little ones and hope and pray for continued progress and good health.
Here in our neck of the woods it is a beautiful, yet chilly, fall day. Brock's therapy had a glitch in scheduling and rather than having PT, OT, and speech....he was only booked for speech at 3pm. I opted not to make the drive for just one session, but instead settled on having a fall photo shoot. The trio was less than thrilled. I think they all wanted to go with Brock and me to the rehab clinic. :) Here is the fall display.....
....Add in some triplets, 2 cats and a dog, and you have quite a picture
Avery loves Chloe! Not sure Chloe is reciprocating....
Oh, I just want to smile when I see my little man SMILE!!!!!!!!
Cora is officially taller than the scarecrow.
ARE WE DONE YET?????
That's a rap for some cute little Illini fans.....
I love the pictures! It looks like they are loving the nice fall weather, such a nice change from the hot summer!! The one of Brock by himself smiling is perfect. Take care
These pictures are wonderful. The weather and decorations are *ALMOST* as bright as the Munchkin's radiant smiles. I could feel the warmth and cheer of Brock's smile all the way here in Arizona!
