Twins for John Buck
Kansas City Royals’ catcher John Buck her taken emergency leave from the game, after his wife Brooke gave birth to twin boys 12 weeks early.
Despite their early arrival, the boys are reportedly doing well. Cooper Buck arrived at 5:29 pm on May 15. He weighed 4 lb. 9 oz. Brody Buck was next at 5:31 pm. He tipped the scales at 4 lb. 4 oz.
Brooke didn’t come through completely unscathed though. John reported that she suffered a blood pressure scare.
“They finally let her go see the boys. It was a little scary, but we’re in good shape now. Everybody is healthy, everybody is good. We’ve had a breath of fresh air and we should enjoy it now,” John explained.
“Even though everything is okay now, they wanted me to come back totally free and fresh of any concern. It’s just that the boys are in an intensive care unit and they just wanted me when I leave in three days to be totally good with it and that way it won’t be on my mind.”
How wonderful that the Royals are so supportive of John and his family. I’m sure it means the world to him to be able to be with his family now!
