Ok i know these babies are not mine, but i have become very close to louise there mum.. we spoke alot whilst bailey was in scbu
she was having a rough time and her waters broke monday 25th evening, she had steroids and meds to stop contractions, but nothing worked and when they examined her late afternoon tuesday 26th June there was a bum coming out so they wipped her up to surgery and got babys out..
Grace the girl is the stronger one weighjing in at 2lb 2oz's, she has tried to come off the ventalator cos she didnt like the tubes etc.. but after 3 hours had to go back on... she is now on 4 ml's of milk per hour..
Joesph, weighing in at 1lb 9oz's is ok they havent tried him off the ventalator as yet cos hes a little more poorlier..
and harry the smallest of them all and even more poorlier weighed in at 1lb 2 oz's, he has had a bleed to the brain..
obviously any baby born at 25 weeks there will be problems to overcome.. but imagine how louise is coping with 3 babys born at 25 weeks, she is being so strong bless her...
These babys are fighting for there lives and i ask you pray for them, i will be staying in touch with louise and when im allowed to see the triplets i will get a few pics for you all to see....
but please pray with me that these babys come out of this ok.. its going to be a long struggle but i wish the family my utmost best...

Things are very up and down! grace has a hole in her heart and they have been talking about transfering her to leeds.
Joesph and harry are both up and down, but they are all on CPAP so thats something. It really is a rollercoaster!
Update 17th august!!!
Things not to bad here, grace and joesph are both off cpap now, grace is now on 3 hourly feeds, joseph is on 2 hourly and they are both sharing a cot! Harry has been a bit slower, having an hour off cpap every 6 hours, he'll get there eventually!
Weights arnt great, only joesph has hit a kilo! grace weighs 980 grams and harry 970 grams. We are going to have a kilo party when they all hit it! We are going to have to buy things soon!
things are ooking up for these triplets, my thoughts are with them all....
