A Very Special Delivery
Posted by Tom
While at the hospital, on Monday, March 31st, our sweet nurse Tonya came in to tell us that it was "go time." They were setting our delivery up to begin at 12:00 noon that day. St. Mary's called in several of the NICU staff, respiratory therapists, and labor nurses. The delivery of triplets is not an ordinary thing and they wanted to make sure that every detail was covered. Including Kim and myself, there were 18 people in the operating room. Needless to say, it was "grand central station" with all of the people and equipment. We could not be more grateful for the service we received from our doctors, nurses, specialists, and staff here at StMH.
At 12:24pm, Holland Belle McCullers was born weighing 3lbs 7oz and 15-3/4" long.
At 12:26pm, Charlie Reiker McCullers was born weighing 3lbs 9oz and 16" long.
At 12:26pm, Sutton Michelle McCullers was born weighing 2lbs 8oz and 14-1/2" long.
Kim and I have been very blessed. God has given us more than we could have ever imagined. The babies and mom are doing great. Kim was released from the hospital on Saturday, April 5th and the babies continue to stay in the NICU. All three are doing great; they just need a little time to grow and get stronger. Each day they continue to improve. The McCullers family has been blessed with three special deliveries.
