(Libby) – The St. John’s Lutheran Hospital Obstetrics Department has been busy for the past month and a half…busy with boys, that is! From February 17 through April 4, 2009, St. John’s has delivered 15 baby boys in a row! But the fact that they’re boys is about all that these bundles of joy have in common! There are no two same names in the group, and none of them actually share a birthday.

Collectively, these little tykes weigh 92 pounds, 13 ounces, and are 248 Ľ inches long! As it turns out, all five of the obstetric physicians, Drs. Camber, Rice, Cuskelly, Colson, and Hall, were involved in the birth of at least one of the boys.

"The chance of either sex being born 15 consecutive times in a row is 2 to the 15th power. That means there is a 1 in 32,768 chance of such an occurrence! It is almost unbelievable that this has happened," stated Dr. Gregory Rice, M.D.

Riki Cochran, RN, St. John’s Acute Care Manger added, "In the year 2025, we’re going to have ourselves one heck of a Libby Logger Football team! There really is no explanation for the number of baby boys that have been born here in the past month and a half. It must be something in the water!"
