Identical quadruplets are a rarity, but for a Canadian couple, they are a blessing:
A 35-year-old Canadian woman has given birth to rare identical quadruplets, officials at a Great Falls hospital said Thursday. Karen Jepp of Calgary, Alberta, delivered Autumn, Brooke, Calissa and Dahlia by Caesarian section Sunday afternoon at Benefis Healthcare, said Amy Astin, the hospital’s director of community and government relations.
The four girls were breathing without ventilators and listed in good condition Thursday, she said.
The couple drove over 300 miles, from Calgary to Great Falls, MN, to have the kids delivered. The hospital in Canada was full:
“The difficulty is that Calgary continues to grow at such a rapid rate. … The population has increased a lot faster than the number of hospital beds,” he said.
I can’t wait until the Democrats bring that kind of quality health-care to America.
Congratulations on the birth of your daughters.
