KMBC: Kansas City Hospital Takes Care of Record Number of Triplets at the Same Time

Saint Luke's Hospital of Kansas City set a new record, serving a triple dose of triplets at the same time.

They say good things come in threes. Three sets of triplets have been cared for in the  Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) in the past month.

The Jones family were the first to arrive. Ten days later, the Brooks' babies made their entrance. Then the Fleemans' children arrived, hitting the record for three sets of triplets to fill the wing reserved for the littlest children.

KMBC came to the NICU to meet the families. Watch the full story below.
