Beating the Odds: 'Miracle" Micro-Preemie Triplets Turned One

The DeShane miracle micro-preemie triplets would never have been accounted for by expert fertility statistics and probability results. Each born on different days, and in other years, three Norwood babies have beaten the odds, breaking an embryo and surviving normal births.

Cian J. DeShane, at the age of 22 weeks and six days, was born at the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit of the University of Vermont Medical Center on Dec. 28, 2019. DeShane spanned 11 inches with the tubing in and had weighed about the weight of just a loaf of bread, 1 pound, 0.9 ounces, 

Kaylie E. DeShane had given birth to Cian's identical twin brother, Declan B, as well as his sister, Rowan M, on Jan. 2, 2020, upon being fully dilated and experiencing contractions about five and a half days. Declan weighs 1 pound, 7.6 ounces, and then at 1 pound, 1 ounce, Rowan came along.

The six eyelids of the infant have all been sealed shut at birth. Even so, the DeShane micro-preemie triplets are then staring out at their environment during a brief visit beyond their Norwood home this week. The miracle micro-preemie triplets have all been gazing at bicyclists riding on Main Street with optimistic curiosity.

Not only are these miracle micro-preemie triplets unique for having to beat the odds as well as to survive premature birth but also, they are unique for having birthdays on different days and different years.

In an interview, parents Kaylie, 32, and Brandon DeShane, 35, of Norwood, New York, was happily sharing with The Epoch Times the birth story of their micro-preemie triplets.

"I began to weep," their Mother, Kaylie DeShane, begun the interview as she recalls how her waters break at week 22.

"I said to my husband, 'That's it. We've lost them. There are no triplets in the world born this early who survived.'" she continued.

"Miracle" Micro-Preemie Triplets Turned One

For four years, the pair had been attempting to conceive. Kaylie became pregnant after IVF in 2019 and had polycystic ovarian syndrome, which gives them an odd to their desire to develop babies. The two decided to implant embryos, which only gave them an approximately 10% chance of conceiving twins. Fortunately, the week-six ultrasound caught a massive surprise: three babies are coming on their way.

 PCOS is a hormonal condition that causes excessive levels of male hormone development under Mayo clinic. Possible symptoms in having this are uncommon or prolonged menstruation and an increased propensity for the ovaries to develop fluid pockets and fail to release eggs regularly. PCOS is identified as one of the most common causes of women's infertility by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, affecting as many as 5 million reproductive-age women in the United States.

"We had been through so much that we didn't really believe it. This was about a 1.7 percent chance," Kaylie added in her interview while Brandon, the triplets father, recalled his feelings as "scared, excited, and nervous ... we had been told we 'couldn't' have that many,".

"I immediately said to my husband and the ultrasound tech, 'I will not terminate any of them.' continued Kylie and luckily her husband agreed."

On Jan. 1, 2021, as the Preemie miracle triplets turned 1, the parents actively updated The Epoch Times that their triplets have gained weight. Cian now weighs 21 pounds 8 ounces, approximately 9.7 kg; Declan weighs 23 pounds about 10.4 kg, and Rowan had weighed 17 pounds 13 ounces, around 9.7 kg.
