2 more octuplets go home; 12 now in Suleman's care

A dozen children are now in Nadya Suleman's care after two more of the world's longest surviving set of octuplets arrived home from the hospital.

Makai and Jeremiah were released from Kaiser Permanente Bellflower Medical Center on Thursday, exactly two months after their births.

"Over these past several weeks we have seen these little ones flourish, grow stronger each day, which is rewarding for each of us who have cared for them," said Dr. Mandhir Gupta, a neonatologist at Kaiser. Nannies who are being trained by Kaiser nurses are helping Suleman take care of the children.

The babies were born nine weeks premature on Jan. 26, weighing between 1 pound, 8 ounces, and 3 pounds, 4 ounces. Makai and Jeremiah, like their siblings who went home earlier, now each weigh more than 5 pounds.

The smallest octuplets, Jonah and Josiah, remain in Kaiser's neonatal intensive care unit. The hospital would not release their weights or say when they might go home, but said they are doing well.

Suleman, unmarried and unemployed, already had six children, ages 2 to 7, before giving birth to the octuplets. She has said all 14 children were conceived through in vitro fertilization.

It's unclear how she's paying for the nannies helping her care for the children. The 33-year-old mother has been jobless since 1999, living on disability payments, food stamps and student loans.

Suleman recently fired a nonprofit nursing group helping her, Angels in Waiting, saying they were intolerably negative. The group says it was fired because of complaints it made to child welfare officials questioning whether the children would get adequate care.

Should (sic) be after the word care to make the title accurate?

And YOU are paying for ALL of it.

BTW, they estimate she had 30K of cosmetic surgery and the birth of the octuplets interrupted her getting her Master's Degree in Psychology - early child development.

So you'd better stay healthy and keep working so Octomom has a life. BTW no social services are involved. Where is DYFUS when you need them?

This nut case also said she fired them because they were spying on her..That alone should be enough to take these little ones away and give them a good home with a family that will be able to love them and support them..

I also think that the daddy should be made to pay for the children he should have know what a nut case this moron is unless he is as nutty as she is..I think he would think twice before he gave anyone else sperm..

I honestly think this woman is going to continue to have everything handed to her. No one is going to let those babies stay alone with her so by default, she continues to be pampered and cared for.

I also think she should be pampered in a nut house - and the kids handed out to families who can actually care for them and want them.
