  I had acid reflux so bad for a year that my esophagus stayed inflamed, I was given things by the doctors and told to raise the head of my bed as I would inhale the acid in my sleep and wake up choking! I got tested with the Symptom Survey Analysis, started taking the Standard Process supplements.....

One evening after eating pizza, I had terrible indigestion and a lot of pain in my upper right back. I had this before and after a previous ultrasound, knew I had several gallstones, so I was sure it was my gallbladder acting up again. I figured I had overdone it, so I was careful with what I ate, but a dull pain stayed with me for five more days. I thought it was finally better, but only one day went by without pain....

Woman Gives Birth To Sextuplets

May 10, 2004 (AP)

Just before 8 am on May 10, 2004, Kate Gosselin gave birth to what is believed to be only the second set of sextuplets born in Pennsylvania, at Penn State Milton S. Hershey Medical Center. Registered nurse Deb Kreiger tends to Alexis Faith Gosselin, who was born first at 7:51 a.m. She weighs 2 pounds, 11.5 ounces.

A woman gave birth to sextuplets Monday May 10, 2004, and both the mother and babies were doing well, hospital officials said.

Kate Gosselin, 29 delivered her three sons and three daughters in her 30th week of pregnancy. The babies were delivered by Caesarean section just before 8 a.m. at Penn State Milton S. Hershey Medical Center, hospital officials said.

"I'd just like to thank the Lord," said Jonathan Gosselin, 27, the babies' father. "It was truly an amazing thing."

Mr. Gosselin joined doctors and nurses at a late afternoon news conference, where they said the mother was in good condition and the babies in satisfactory condition. All but one of the infants were still on ventilators late Monday afternoon.

"Their excellent condition is a testament to Kate Gosselin's resolve, and the expert care of our obstetrical staff," said Dr. Dennis Mujsce, medical director of the hospital's neonatal intensive care unit.

Sextuplets are rare. Hospital officials said that as of March 15, only 138 documented sets had been born worldwide.

Gosselin and her husband live in Wyomissing, a suburb of Reading, and are also the parents of 3-year-old twins. Kate Gosselin was admitted to the hospital in early March.

Jonathan Gosselin said his wife is tired but seems to be doing well.

"We met with Joe Paterno today, so she was uplifted by that," he said.

More than 50 doctors, nurses and other specialists were involved in the delivery, including color-coded teams that took each baby as it was delivered and cared for it.

"The delivery room was quite busy," Mujsce said.

The sextuplets were delivered in a span of about three minutes. Alexis Faith, weighing 2 pounds, 11.5 ounces, was born first at 7:51 a.m. She was followed by Hannah Joy, 2 pounds, 11 ounces; Aaden Jonathan, 2 pounds 7.5 ounces; Collin Thomas, 3 pounds 0.5 ounces; Leah Hope, 2 pounds 14.8 ounces, and Joel Kevin, 2 pounds 9.7 ounces.

Mr. Gosselin, who wore six hospital wristbands to the news conference, said the family's church, Calvary Bible Fellowship Church, in Sinking Spring, had offered to pay to expand the family's home. Various corporations have also made donations, he said.

"Our church is behind us 100 percent. We have everything material taken care of," said Gosselin, an information technologies director for a petroleum equipment company, near Reading.

Gosselin, who said that Penn State football Coach Joe Paterno visited the family on May 10, and is hoping that the boys get football scholarships to Penn State to help fund their educations.
