Welcome to our site.
After 3.5 and 5 months in the NICU we are on to another chapter. The boys have all caught up developmentally and shown to be breat and active boys. On October 1 we entered another scarey rollercoaster with Dylan being diagnosed with Leukemia (ALL Accute Lymphoblastic Leukemia) We have a three year battle ahead but one with great odds of beating! So that is good news!
Dylan's chemo will affect his immunity so we will have to be careful during the fall and winter flu season when they will be in 'high risk.'
To give you the triplet's background: The boys due date was not until June 9, 2008 but we knew having triplets meant that they would be born early. After 25 weeks of no pregnancy issues and getting a good report card from my doctor, I went into labor on 3/1/08. I was immediately given magnesium sulfate and put on hospital bed rest. I had dilated to 1 cm but they stopped the contractions. I was luckily given 5 days of bedrest and 2 steriod shots to help with the boys lung development before I went into labor again. This time it could not be stopped as Hunter's water broke. So, on March 6, 2008 these three amazing boys came into the world at 26.5 weeks.
- Hunter Keith Hodgson
- Matthew William Hodgson
- Dylan James Hodgson
They were born on 3/6/08, right before 2am. They all weighed about 2 pounds.
- Hunter was 2.0 pounds
- Matthew was 1.75 pounds
- Dylan was 2.2 pounds
