Haylee and Mitch Hess open up about the unimaginable journey of becoming parents to triplets born at just 28 weeks, each weighing only two pounds. They share the challenges of navigating the NICU, facing a $7 million medical bill, and receiving a life-changing cerebral palsy diagnosis. From their babies needing feeding tubes and oxygen to adjusting to life at home, they reveal the highs and lows of their experience.
