The special carseats we had to have to leave the hospital

What an amazing day we have had and the Hand of the Lord has shown itself again for our sweet little babies. The triplets passed all of the required tests to leave the hospital such as hold their own temperature, eat on their own (no I.V.'s) and show signs of gaining weight. Well after they had passed all three they told us that they had one more test and that was the car seat test. We were worried because the car seats we have are for 5-29 lbs and we knew that we were on the bubble. Well the results came back and they were not what we wanted. We scrambled and tried to find infant car seats for 0-20 lb babies and they are tough to find and an expense we did not want to have to incur, since the triplets would not be in them very long. We asked the hospital if they rented these little seats, they said no. The hospital has them to give out to low income family's and those on Medicaid, but we did not qualify for either of those. They said they were out of stock also and we began to worry we might not get these babies home for a few more days. But low and behold, this morning a nurse (Kathy) we had had a few days back found 3 brand new still in the boxes infant car beds in the storage closet that were not there the night before. She talked to the charge nurse and told her about our situation with the triplets and she is letting us borrow them until we do not need them any more. We were so excited and feel so fortunate and blessed for all of the wonderful experiences we have all ready had and we have only had them here a week.
