After about three months in Saskatoon’s Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital, the leap day quadruplets are all finally at home. “The first baby (Aleah) came home about two weeks ago,” said their mother Savannah Ratt, who noted Aleah was followed by Beautiful, Dominick and, finally, Cecilia just a few days ago. “It’s heart filling.
It’s a beautiful feeling. It’s hectic. It’s great.
I get all the cuddles in the world.” While at Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital, the quadruplets received around the clock care with two full-time dedicated workers. Ratt explained in order for the babies to leave the facility, it all depended on their breathing and if they were able to feed on their own without the assistance of a tube.
Ratt and father Gilbert Merasty are currently staying at Ronald McDonald House, which has been their accommodations since a little prior to the quadruplets being born. They all share one room with mom and dad on one bed and all the babies on another. “I can barely sleep.
One cries, then another will cry and another will cry and then the other will cry as soon as I’m falling asleep. I get like maybe two or three hours sleep at night if I am lucky,” Ratt said. “Their dad is a big help.
He will help me at night if I need help. Sometimes, I will just let him rest because he lets me sleep in the morning. He will take over, so I can catch up on my sleep.
” While the quadruplets were released from the hospital one at a time, Ratt noted it was chal.
