Here is some more information I received from Jennifer’s sister about the babies.


"Last Thursday, she started running a fever. She called her doctors and they told her to run up to the hospital for a quick check. When she got there, everything looked fine and the doctors thought she was either dehydrated or had a mild kidney infection. The plan at that point was to put her on an iv to rehydrate her, keep her overnight and then she would go home. Late that night/early Friday morning, she began dilating very quickly and they could not stop her contractions. An emergency c-section was performed and the three girls were delivered around 2:40isham on Friday, November 16th.


Mallory Kate and Kelby Grace both weighed 1.5 lbs and were almost 12" in length. They were stabilized and immediately transferred to the level 4 NICU at Saint David's downtown (Austin). Evan Reece weighed just under a pound. They could not stabilize her for travel to the higher level NICU. She slipped back to heaven 5 hours after she was born.


Jenni and Jeremy got to hold her and we all got to spend time with her before she died. She was so precious. Jenni is doing really well. She was released yesterday (Sunday) and got to go see Mallory and Kelby. The girls will be in NICU for at least 4 months and so it will be a long journey for all of them. Jenni is home now. She is planning a memorial service for Evan on Tuesday, November 20th at their church - Hill Country Bible Church at 11 am. She will be buried in Lubbock sometime in December. I know they would appreciate your prayers for the girls and for them.”
