Greg & I have been married almost 13 years. We've been through a lot during that time. We've had many happy experiences over the years but we've also had our share of hard times. In 1988 we delivered identical twin boys, Ryan & Taylor at 23 weeks. They were so tiny and fought hard to live but they were just too small, they only lived about 9 hours. We attended a support group after our loss which really helped us a great deal. If you haven't lost a child it's hard to understand the intense feelings that come with it. When our triplets were born it but a tremendous strain on our family, not just between Greg and I but also on our daughter Shelby who was 4 when they were born. Having higher order multiples can be a true test on a family and marriage. Joining a support group for families of triplets or more helped me a lot both during my pregnancy and after the birth. There's so much to deal with when you have 3 or more babies fighting for their lives, It's so helpful to talk to someone who's been through it and survived. Our daughter Emma developed an intestinal infection at 6 days old that almost took her life. She only weighted 1 # 13 oz when she had to have surgery. Thankfully she made it through that surgery and 2 others and is healthy and happy now. If anyone else has experienced anything similar to what we have and would like to share stories or you need a shoulder from someone who understands, please feel free to e-mail me. I know how much it helped us to have someone to talk to who understood and I'd like to give something back and be of support now. Tammy |
