Four Before Their Time: A Story of Hope Resilience and Miracles

But the joy of pregnancy is short-lived after an ultrasound reveals that Anne isnt just pregnant shes really pregnant-with quadruplets! Now her dad Tim Spillane is a grandfather four times over and much too soon. Just 24 weeks into her pregnancy Anne delivered and not one of Tims grandkids weighs more than half a mug of coffee. So underdeveloped that even calling them babies feels wrong the odds of just one of them surviving-let alone all four-are heartbreakingly low. And even if the children pull through they face the likelihood of disabilities so severe that theyd have no real quality of life. It all seems hopeless until Tims wife observes that just seeing the quads is like being allowed a glimpse into the miracle that grows in a mothers womb. Four Before Their Time is the true story of four babies surviving on a razors edge one moms overwhelming and guilt-ridden entrance into parenthood and an entire familys experiences with extreme premature birth. It will take all the faith hope and resilience the Spillane family can muster - along with more than a few miracles - just to get the quadruplets home.
