Quintuplets Born Premature Making Progress towards Going Home After Two Months
Theresa Troia, a 36-year-old woman from Texas, is eagerly awaiting the day when she can bring her quintuplets – Kyla, Joseph, Jaxon, Viviana, and Isabella – home. The five babies were born on June 3, arriving much earlier than expected at just 28 weeks into Theresa’s pregnancy. Despite the challenges that come with premature birth, Theresa is thrilled with the progress her little ones have made over the past two months.
In an exclusive interview with PEOPLE, Theresa shared that the journey of watching her quintuplets grow stronger has been both emotional and beautiful. As a regional nurse consultant for long-term care and skilled nursing facilities, Theresa has a special appreciation for the care her babies are receiving in the neonatal intensive care unit. She expressed gratitude for the incredible team looking after her “little fighters” and remains hopeful that they will soon begin to join her at home.
Theresa’s path to motherhood was not without obstacles. She revealed that her original OB-GYN dropped her from care due to disagreements about her decision to carry all five babies to term. However, Dr. Aaron Poole, an OB-GYN and maternal-fetal medicine specialist, stepped in to support Theresa through the remainder of her pregnancy. Dr. Poole’s dedication and expertise played a crucial role in the safe delivery of the quintuplets via cesarean section on June 3.
The proud mother credits the medical staff at Las Palmas Del Sol Healthcare for not only delivering her babies safely but also providing unwavering support throughout the process. Despite initial fears and moments of uncertainty, Theresa’s heart overflows with love and gratitude as she watches her five miracles thrive in the NICU. She commended the doctors, nurses, and specialists for their compassion and skill, acknowledging that they have truly saved their lives.
As the babies continue to grow and develop at their own pace, Theresa remains optimistic about their homecoming. She chose to honour a family tradition when naming her children, ensuring that each baby has a saint’s name as either their first or middle name. With the ongoing support of the hospital staff and her unwavering love for her little ones, Theresa is looking forward to the day when she can bring her quintuplets home.
The road ahead may hold challenges, but Theresa’s resilience and faith in her babies’ strength shine through. Every day brings them closer to the moment when the entire family will be reunited under one roof. The community’s support and well-wishes continue to uplift Theresa and her quintuplets as they embark on this remarkable journey together.
In a world filled with uncertainties, Theresa’s story stands as a testament to the power of love, perseverance, and the unwavering dedication of healthcare professionals. As the days pass and the quintuplets make strides towards going home, Theresa’s heart swells with hope and anticipation for the bright future that awaits her family.
