Amid quarantines and closings and the unknowns of the novel coronavirus pandemic, a Minnesota family is celebrating a small miracle, growing the size of their family by four.
The Thompson quadruplets who each weighed between 2 and 3 pounds at birth, have remained in the neo-natal intensive care unit at Centra-Care St. Cloud Hospital and are improving every day, according to their parents. "The doctor goes, ‘Well, you guys have multiples,’ meaning twins, and then they said it was triplets," said Thompson."I was going to joke and ask if there were any more but Taylor was kind of crying so I didn’t say anything ... then they did a 3D scan and they said it’s quadruplets."
There were only 115 quadruplet births in the United States in 2018, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention . The odds of having identical quadruplets are even smaller, closer to one in 10 million, according to Dr. Jena Swanson, a maternal-fetal medicine specialist who cared for Becher during her pregnancy.
Story continuesBecher and Thompson, a machinist, are using a color-coded system to identify the babies, whom they describe as nearly impossible to tell apart so far. Sawyer is pink, Kennedy is yellow, Aurora is purple and Lakely is blue.
