Triplets!

Yes, Triplets were born just after noon today. It was the first time we've had three LIVE triplets born since I arrived in Africa in 1977. There have been a couple of cases where one or two babies did not live but all three of these BOYS are doing fine.

Weights: Baby A- 1kg520, Baby B- 2kg050 and Baby C- 2kg170. To change these weights into Pounds, multiply times 2.2.

The local Television station came and filmed the babies, Father, Pediatrician and the head Midwife. The father and Head Midwife are hoping that the family can get some government subsidy for their family. They have four other children.

I came home at 2pm, exhausted from running around. Legs aching. I canceled the Midwifery class for 3pm since my two Midwife students got a great experience already today.

Praise the Lord that mother and boys are fine. Please pray for Mom as she recovers from surgery and the triplets that they will grow big and strong. Thanks.
