Yes, Peanut was the first to die and then in the days following the other two slowly failed, also. A huge emotional loss for Carl and the rest of us. :(

Very true Jacqui, my wife and I were blown away by the news! It sounded as tho they were going to go on and be some great torts! So depressing.

Don't know how I missed that thread. Very sad for Carl's loss. :-(

Yes, it had to just terrible for him I'm sure. I'm still very surprised by their passing as they all seemed to be doing so very good. Just knowing what I went thru when Cooper had his URI, and how much baby'n and close care I gave him. And he had 3 to deal with and I am sure, got really close to them. I would be lost if I had to go thru that. Just makes me sad to hear of one of our forum members losing their shelled kids. Here's to everyone on here having nothing but healthy, happy torts/turts!

Thanks again for the kind thoughts. The triplets were little heartbreakers for sure but the reality is that them surviving for any length of time was a surprise.
But we did learn a lot and should we get more (of course, I doubt this!) I will be better at maintaining them.

I hate that you had to go through that heartbreak... But you sure gave them a great fighting chance to live. And I know we are all happy that you kept us posted on them like you did. Take care of yourself! :)
