Flint, MI -- Sean Gifford peers (click here) into the window of one of the family rooms at Hurley Medical Center to look at his wife. He stares momentarily and exhales.
"Look at her isn't she beautiful," he said as she held two of three babies the couple had on March 23. "This was all her. This wasn't me. I'm telling you she is phenomenal. She is amazing. She never lost focus."
The Gifford's made history at Hurley Medical Center in March when Nicole Gifford gave birth to triplets defying most odds that women face when carrying three babies.
According to Hurley Medical Center doctors, most women are lucky to make it to 32 weeks when carrying triplets, there was only a five percent chance that one egg would be fertilized let alone three and only one percent of triplet babies are delivered vaginally.
"As you can imagine I have been in practice for 30 years," said Dr. Mostafa Abuzeid, who specializes in in-vitro Fertilization at Hurley Medical Center "I have my share of patients who ended in triplets. To my knowledge this is the first patient that ended in vaginal delivery (for all three)."
Nicole Gifford not only made it to 36 weeks, the first-time mother delivered the babies in a little more than an hour.
Stella, Genevieve and Honour Gifford were all born at more than 4 lbs each and at 6 weeks are they are healthy and thriving babies....
