Six sets of twins over 32 hours wow parents, Sparrow workers
At 9:05 a.m. Tuesday, Chastity Keeler gave birth to a baby boy. One minute later, she gave birth to another.
Then, over the next 32 hours, five more couples at Sparrow Hospital experienced the joy of giving birth to twins.
It’s an event that Sparrow nurses, doctors and officials believe is a record for the hospital.
"We have a number of experienced nurses, and it’s the first time within their collective memory that we’ve had six sets of twins born in such close proximity," Sparrow spokeswoman Nan Simons said.
Keeler, of Jackson, said it’s a story she’ll tell her sons, Nick and Ty, as they grow up.
"That was an extraordinary couple of days, and they were part of it," Keeler said. "They will forever be known in Sparrow history, and that’s kind of cool."
Five sets of the twins were boys. The other two infants were girls.
"It’s fun for Sparrow to mark a record like this," Simons said. "Six sets of twins, that’s a lot of babies."
