Just when the whole family thought that there is no end to the celebration, a tragedy fell when the mother of the triplets died several days after she gave birth. She was only given the chance to see her two older daughters left at home before she took her final breath.
Sharp Pain In Chest
Yahoo reported that Kansas mom Casi Rott woke up at around 4 a.m. experiencing a sharp pain in her chest, accompanied with a heartbeat that was way faster than the normal. This happened just two days after she gave birth to her triplets.
When this happened, Casi was immediately rushed by her husband to the hospital. Despite the findings that she had a blood clot in her lungs, which caused the pain, Casi went home with her husband two days after to see their two older children 6-year-old Chloe and 2-year-old Tenley.
Joey, Casi's husband, said during an interview that when the couple left the hospital, they didn't expect that death would come knocking at their door. He said they thought it was already behind them as Casi was not expressing any sign of pain or something similar.
Held Newborn Triplets Before Dying
Joey said that Casi had the chance to hold their newborn babies before she went back to their farmhouse, which is a 2 ½ hours drive from the hospital. They even planned to go back to the hospital after checking on their two older daughters.
When Casi has seen and embraced her two daughters again, her chest pain returned. She sat down believing that it will just go away, however, it did not. It was then that they decided to return to the hospital.
People said that as Joey was driving towards the hospital, Casi already lost consciousness. Despite efforts of waking her up, Casi did not open her eyes again. Reports also have it that the doctors did their best to bring her back but cannot do anything anymore.
The parents of Joey had been very supportive of him. They would drive seven miles every day just to assist Joey in his struggle as he takes care of their five children.
