Wonderful People...Amazing Technology
Our
story starts with the wonderful perinatal doctors at St. Johns Mercy. They
helped me get through 15 weeks of bedrest to get our twins here. They were born
10 weeks to soon. Cameron was 3 lbs. 3 oz., and Caden was 4 lbs. 5 oz. Cameron
had a dislocated knee, and had his cast on even before I was out of recovery.
Dr. Anderson continues to be a wonderful doctor. Cam also had a perforated
bowel and had to have surgery when he was three days old. I was scared and
confused but everyone in the NICU was very comforting. Caden stayed in the NICU
for 6 weeks and Cameron was there for 8. Much to our surprise we would be
visiting the NICU again. Colton and Kyleigh made it one extra week, born at 31
weeks. Colton was 3 lbs. 15 oz., and Kyleigh was 4 lbs. 4 oz. Yes, we had two
sets of twins! We had another difficult road ahead of us but it was eased by
the wonderful people at St. John’s Mercy. Kyleigh stayed for 6 weeks and Colton
stayed for 7. No major problems this time. Now we have a wonderfully healthy
family. Carter is 4 (no stays at St. John's Mercy for him). Caden and Cameron
are 2 and potty trained, and Colton and Kyleigh are 1 and walking around
everywhere. I know our family would not be same without the wonderful people
and amazing technology at St. John's Mercy Medical Center.
