What a difference a week makes!

My parents, Dr.and Mrs. Thomas and Carolia Malone from Columbus Ga, and grandmother Mrs. Letitia Mero from East Hampton NY, flew in and went straight to the NICU. My grandmother had two sets of twins, one identical (Winnie & Martha), and fraternal (Camelia and Carolia). Four generations in one room!

Pictured below are Kelly and Mrs. Letitia Mero, great-grandmother, and Dylan and Sean. Carolia and Thomas Malone feeding Dylan.


Dr.Eleanor Metz, from San Francisco, arrived on Sunday. She along with my grandmother were total surprises! The late Dr.Leon Metz was my Godfather and his family has been very close to ours. Dr. Metz's father, Dr Phillip Nicholas delivered me in Nashville Tn, and his family gave me housing during medical school. As we announce godparents of the "Goodfellas" they hopefully will play as significant roles in their lives.

The Babies are continuing to improve... The boys took their first road trip and were transferred to Phoenix Children's Hospital. The room they're in is awesome!!! They were able to put our entire family in one room! It reminds me of an airplane hanger with its arch-style ceiling. The boys have been moved to cribs and are co-bedding. They are keeping their temperatures steady, all IV's are out, they're next task is bottle feeding. So far Dylan has taken the lead, but the others are close on his heels. Chase and Sean are up to over 38cc's, William 33cc, and Dylan 41cc.

Congrats Baby Malone Quads! They are doing such a fantastic job. Thanks again for stopping by to visit after our cerclage. It was so nice to meet you and I can't wait until you can take your babies home. God willing it will be very soon. I had an appointment with Dr Elliott yesterday and I told him I was going to pull a "Kelly Malone" and show up at the hospital at 34 weeks - there is no way I am going back before then! He laughed and agreed how amazing you are. Congrats on everything and I will check your website to stay updated.

God Bless you,

These babies are just beautiful, they come from good genes. They are such big blessings. Little Mike must be enjoying them as well as you guys are. I keep praying that they continue to do as well as they are doing so you may all be home soon. You and Kelly have done a great job. I look forward to checking the site for more pics and info on how you are all doing, so keep them coming.
