Stay at Home Dad of Triplets: We had a 5% chance of having Triplets and a 1 in 5000 chance of having a bone infection

We had a 5% chance of having Triplets and a 1 in 5000 chance of having a bone infection

Yes, we are beating the odds:) 1 in 5000? Seriously.... That is the same odds of dying of electrocution in your lifetime. Did I mention that electricity and I do not get along, for good reason it seems. You may be asking yourself "How do you keep a 22 month old entertained in a room for four days?" Oh yeah, he does not like to watch TV:(

This was our room. No, Jackson did not spend much (any) time in the crib (baby jail).

Children's Hospital has these cool wagons for taking kids for rides. Since we were on "contact restriction" we couldn't leave the room but he still got to play with the wagon:)

Rubber gloves aren't just for health care workers:)

His favorite toy was the stethoscope. We actually got to take it home with us!

I've wrestled with reality for 35 years, Doctor, and I'm happy to state I finally won out over it.
