Minneapolis (WCCO) ―
A daughter of the Minnesota couple that became parents to sextuplets has died.
A statement from Children's Hospital in Minneapolis said Cadence Alana, died Saturday morning.
The two other newborns of Ryan and Brianna Morrison of St. Louis Park remain in critical condition in the neonatal intensive care unit at Children's. The children were all born June 10, about 4 1/2 months early.
Earlier this month, the Morrisons lost their sons Tryg Brenton, Bennet Ryan and Lincoln Sean.
Ryan and Brianna issued the following statement:
"Though our difficult time continues, our faith remains strong. Our families, friends, and churches have provided us with great comfort, for which we are deeply grateful. We continue to express our thanks to the staff at Children's. Please keep us in your prayers."
The hospital said no further information is being released, as the parents both mourn their loss and continue to focus on their two other children.
