“Things are going well,” said Jenny Stone LeBrun, of the family’s quadruplets. Everyone — mom, dad, the three older of the crew, and newborns Cru, Grayson, Levi, and Oakley, are finally home after being kept in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at Avera in Sioux Falls since their birth on October 2nd. The quads were ten and a half weeks early.
“They are really good babies and sleep through the night!” LeBrun added, of the latest additions to their family. It was their goal to be home in time to celebrate Christmas together as a family at their rural Colman farm. “It is so nice being home,” she said, as the four officially graduated recently from the NICU.

Grayson came home first on November 23rd, after 53 days in the NICU. Levi and Oakley followed on the 26th and Cru brought up the tail end of homecomings with a welcome home on November 27th.
The four are reportedly the first set of quads born at Avera since 1995. Only five other sets have been born in South Dakota since that time. Jenny and Dusty LeBrun have three other children, Jack, Addy, and Hunter. Family, friends and neighbors have been helping them all adjust from being a family of five to quickly becoming a family of nine through additional child care, gift cards to places like WalMart or other local stores for supplies, to a meal train.
Gifts can be send to them at 23279 470th Ave, Colman SD 57017.
“We are overwhelmed with the enormous amount of love and support from the community,” said LeBrun.
