Sextuplets Arrive at Abington

                Do we have a mimic of reality show Jon and Kate Plus 8 coming soon? I think so. Stacey and Brendan Carey have recently brought six beautiful babies into this world, just as Jon and Kate did a few years ago. I imagine being pregnant with sextuplets is not easy, nor is the delivery process. They had 60 doctors along with fertility specialists assist Stacey in her Cesarean section at Abington Memorial Hospital. Stacey was only 7 months pregnant when she delivered. Normally, at 7 months pregnant the baby is only 3 pounds and still has to develop/strengthen certain features.  With this is mind, all six of the brothers and sisters remain in critical condition and are receiving special support. Parents are very optimistic for Emma, Samantha, Olivia, John, Patrick and Connor since these children complete their family and will accompany their 16 month old daughter.

                My mom had six children, I mean not all at once. As soon as she heard about this story she recognized this woman’s courage. She remembered the painful experiences and trials faced with every one of her pregnancies. And as my mom began to picture herself in Stacey’s shoes she remarked “I couldn’t even fathom going through multiple pregnancies at one time.” Stacey, my mom, and all the other mothers out there are truly amazing for their dedication to complete every mini miracle until the end.
