Yuletide Quintuplets Makes Husband Happy



Wow! Wonders of multiple births. The Lagos Teaching hospital delivers Mrs Shofunlayo, of  her quintuplet recently. WM learnt that, unlike many men who run away at the sight of such births, Wale Shofunlayo is perhaps the happiest man at the moment. This is understandable, considering that his wife was on Friday, safely delivered of quintuplets three girls and 2 boys. Wale is a legal practitioner based in lagos. This multiple delivery has turned LUTH into a Mecca of sorts as it was recording such a medical feat for the first time.



Mrs Shofunlayo, mother of the quintupletAccording to Sun news, since the arrival of the pleasant surprise, Mr. Shofunlayo has been full of praises to God and the hospital. Besides, his equally bemused friends have ceaselessly bombarded him with different questions concerning the miracle multiple birth.

“Wale, can it be true? How did you do it? Some jokingly say they don’t want to touch me so I don’t implicate them,” he told Daily Sun in an interview on Tuesday at LUTH.
Smiling heartily as he spoke, he disclosed that his wife was moved to the hospital two months after conception so that she could be under the close watch of medical experts.

“She spent seven months here at LUTH so they could take care of her,” he said, disclosing that throughout the period, he did not entertain any fear that anything would go wrong. His confidence was reinforced by his belief in God’s word that He would complete and perfect the good work He had started.
“I feel great and I thank Almighty God for His mercy. I also give kudos to the doctors and nurses that handled the CS (caesarean section),” he said.

According to him, about 50 medical personnel, led by one Professor Ajayi, handled the operation.
The Ogun State indigene, who lives in Ikorodu area of Lagos State, disclosed that until the last minute, they were expecting four kids, based on the scan conducted.

“After the four were brought out, Prof. Ajayi suspected that something was still inside. He gently pressed it and pronto another baby was brought out.”
He affirmed his belief that God would equally help him with the means to take care of them and their elder brother, who he said is about two years old.
His wife, Olayemi, who was in a stable condition, said it was a surprise and equally thanked God for the successful operation.

“It was a surprise. I was actually expecting four,” she said.
She added that the operation lasted about 80 minutes and that the babies were healthy with four of them weighing about 1.5 kilogrammes each while one weighed 1.8 kilogrammes.
The LUTH Public Relations Officer, Mrs Hope Nwawolo, who confirmed the medical feat during Daily Sun visit to the hospital, commended the team that performed the operation.

For now, Ward B, where Mrs Olayemi is recuperating, is the most visited building in the expansive hospital with many excited persons, thronging the place to catch a glimpse of the mother and her kids. The tots are, however, still under intensive care and there is a restriction on visitors into the unit.
