It’s 6 a.m., and Darin and Peg Chartier are doing what they usually do — waking up their three sons, who are triplets, and getting them ready for the day.

As the brothers, Spencer, Jackson and Corbin, eat breakfast, Darin Chartier reviews their homework and spelling words. The boys laugh and play in between bites of cereal while Peg Chartier makes their lunches in the kitchen.
It seems like a day in the life of a typical family, but the Chartiers of Libertyville are far from average. All three of the triplets were born with cerebral palsy. The boys, 11, were born premature at 27 weeks. Spencer weighed 2 pounds 6.5 ounces, Jackson weighed 1 pound 9 ounces, and Corbin weighed 1 pound 5 ounces.

Corbin’s cerebral palsy isn’t as noticeable, but he takes a daily growth hormone (hgh) shot because of small stature.

Jackson and Spencer also had surgery to correct the positioning of their legs. In December 2007, Jackson, whose legs were turned in, had surgery where both his femurs and his right tibia were cut. Spencer, whose legs were turned out, had surgery this past August. The triplets have undergone 22 surgeries total, Peg Chartier said, and she knows more might be in store.

“What you feel is more for them — you hate it for your kids,” she said. “Having to consider these surgeries for your child is awful, but you have to take a step back and look at the things you do have. We were fortunate enough not to lose them.” But the cost of the boys’ treatments isn’t just emotional. There’s also a monetary cost. Darin Chartier said the family pays $15,000 a year out of pocket.
