\"triplets\"One in 729,000. \u00a0That is the odds of having quadruplets naturally – without the aid of fertility medicines. \u00a0And for this young Ethiopian lady, it happened 5 days ago. \u00a0With no prenatal care, and no knowledge of the multiple babies she was carrying, she made the trek from her rural home to the local health center. \u00a0There she gave birth to four babies, one of whom died soon after birth.<\/p>\n

She was advised to seek further care at a hospital, and found her way to us. \u00a0The mother herself is being treated with antibiotics for a suspected uterine infection, but she is expected to make a full recovery. \u00a0The three surviving kids are doing well. \u00a0Two of them have a mild omphalitis (an infection of the umbilical cord stump) and are being treated with IV antibiotics. \u00a0They are expected to do well.<\/p>\n

The three celebrated the Ethiopian New Year yesterday on their fourth day of life. \u00a0The new family is the talk of the hospital as we ring in the New Year. \u00a0A multiple gestation pregnancy is high-risk in any country, but especially here where over 90% of the women have no access to prenatal care. \u00a0Though we mourn the loss of one of the babies, we praise God for the miracle of a healthy mom and three healthy infants.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
