For months WSAZ has followed Lori Baker through her pregnancy and delivery of the state's first quintuplets.

Lori tells us that on Saturday she got to bring Hunter home. Hunter was able to clear some final medical hurdles Friday night so doctors at Cabell Huntington Hospital let him go home. The Baker's live in Barboursville.

Hunter's brother Aiden is expected to come home this week. Doctors have told the Bakers that Emma and Chloe could be released from the hospital before Christmas.

Baby Kaliee Joe died two weeks ago at the hospital.

CONGRATULATIONS TIM & LORI, I CAN'T WAIT TO HEAR THAT ALL YOUR LITTLE ONES ARE HOME, SAFE AND SOUND.

This page is about Hunter going home not about anything else! No one is hostile, its just sad that some people from the past cant let things go and try to start trouble all of the time. This family has enough to deal with, they don't need to worry about the lies that she tries to post on wsaz!

Why all the argumentative comments about John? He asked a simple question. Seems like there is more to this story that meets the eye. Why such bitter words for defense?

John, How do you think Lori got the Last name Baker? They are married and it is none of your business. I don't understand why one jealous person feels the need to write a different name and try to downgrade the Bakers. Everyone knows who writes the bad comments! These comments are suppose to be abot the babies and their story not you trying to make people question the Bakers. They are good people who love all of their children equally!

I think if anyone had a heart they would not be listening to all the rumors that is going around. For one thing my BIG Brother Timmy married a tremendous woman! Both of them are so full of love to TJ Dillion Whitney Chloe Emma Hunter Aiden and Kailee Jo. I think there is a little of the green eyed monster in alot of people from the Tri State Area. But we do thank god for all eight of those little miracles. Its on these postings where alot of people always seem to get off what the subject is really about. Love & Prayers to Timmy & Lori and ALL the KIDS!!

Posted by: jennifer on Dec 10, 2007 at 06:53 PM
Congraulations on your blessings from above. I am so sorry about little Kailee. She is an angel in Heaven now. God bless your family and the cute little babies

John any women being married or not can get the fertility drugs I'm not married but been in a relationship for 7 yrs and I've been taking the same type of fertility drugs as she was so like I said it is easy to get them.

Posted by: Christina on Dec 9, 2007 at 11:58 PM
Im really glad the babies are doing well. My heart goes out to you for the passing of baby Kaliee God has special plans for her and i know she will always be in everyones hearts.

Posted by: a guest on Dec 9, 2007 at 11:37 PM
John... not really any of our concern, and also, not the point of the story. How about condolences for the lost child? Or congratulations for the ones coming home? Why is there always that one person that has to be rude? *sigh* Congratulations, Lori, and may God bless you and your family greatly this Christmas season!

Posted by: childless on Dec 9, 2007 at 11:32 PM
Hey John, leave it alone. Why do people think its their business what others do? Do you want to tell everyone what you do in your life? If they wanted to take fertility drugs, then its their business. Its not hurting you, or anyone else, now is it. I am unable to have children, but choose not to take fertility drugs, because I know I could not handle having a large group of babies at once. Other women are able to handle it, and choose to go through with it. If you did not have legs, should I get upset if you chose to get prosthetics? She wanted a child, and got five. So what, its a blessing for her family, so just leave it alone.

Posted by: john on Dec 9, 2007 at 09:55 PM
how did she get the fertility drugs not being married and with him having 2 kids previously.
