The three boys battled for survival after doctors urged Mrs Page, 29, and her husband, Ace, 28, to consider terminating one of the rare, 200-million-to-one identical triplets, amid fears they could lose all three before birth.
The couple refused and moved from Wincanton, Somerset, to be closer to a specialist neonatal unit at St Michael’s Hospital, in Bristol.
