Update June 11, 2008 - Happy Birthday greetings to Bailey, Blake, Cole, Grant, Molly and Savannah.
One year ago today, on June 11, 2007, Bryan and and Jenny Masche of Lake Havasu City welcomed their six children into the world.
Born premature at Banner Good Samaritan Hospital in Phoenix, it took about five minutes for the obstetrics team to deliver the infants via cesarean section.
Jenny's high-risk pregnancy lasted 30 weeks and four days. The children's birth weights ranged from 2 pounds, 1 ounce to 3 pounds.
Today, Jenny reports, all six are in the 20-pound range. Each sextuplet is perfectly healthy, no sight or hearing problems that are common with children born early.
But things weren't so rosy a year ago.
The babies were born at Banner Good Samaritan Medical Center, a Phoenix facility known for delivering multiple births.
Jenny carried the babies to 30 weeks and four days.
She became pregnant by artificial insemination after struggling with infertility and several miscarriages. The births occurred without major glitches.
It was the hours following the births that had Bryan Masche praying for his wife's life inside the intensive-care unit. Jenny had suffered heart failure from the rush of blood in her system following the deliveries. She recovered, but then struggled with depression and a visual impairment that therapy eventually corrected.
Then, less than two weeks before the sextuplets’ first birthday, on May 31, 2008, another miracle occurred, Jenny entered the Rock ’n’ Roll Marathon in San Diego. Not only had Jenny recovered from her problems of a year ago but she ran a 26 mile marathon. Wow!
Her husband, Bryan, ran with her, and waiting for her at the finish line 5½ hours later were her children.
Without a doubt the Masche family is an inspiration to others raising multiples as well as those raising single births.
Best of luck to the Masche family, we here at Incredible Births indeed think of you as INCREDIBLE!
