In today's Evening Times, new Warrior and new father of triplets, Daryl Gibson has thanked Yorkhill for the care received by his family.
A drama in the delivery ward left all three babies and mum Liana battling for life in intensive care.
And after surviving their first ordeal, the triplets were rushed back into hospital with a life-threatening breathing disease.
Now at last dad Daryl, a Glasgow Warriors and ex-All Blacks rugby player, and big sister Poppy, 2, are looking forward to them all being at home - for good.
Baby Oscar is preparing to join brother Finn and sister Indy by finally leaving Yorkhill.
He's the last baby to get the all-clear to join Daryl, 32, and Liana, 37, and his brother and sisters at home.
Today Liana said: "They gave me a 50/50 chance of survival. I think Daryl thought he was going to be left with four children under the age of two.
"But I haven't dwelled on it. I'm just so happy to be here."
The babies spent their first four weeks in the Princes Royal Maternity Hospital after they were born eight weeks early on August 25.
Complications meant Liana had to have an emergency Caesarean and she lost so much blood that her own life, as well as those of the babies, was on the line.
She needed three blood transfusions and doctors were worried she might not survive.
But after a month in hospital - including a spell when both Liana and smallest baby Oscar, who weighed just 2lb 2oz, were ventilated at the same time - the family returned home.
Daryl, who had kept vigil at the hospital during the agonising time, was relieved.
The former New Zealand international said: "It was touch and go for Liana's life. It was a traumatic time and the doctors and nurses said she was lucky.
"Obviously we were worried about the babies. We weren't sure if they had survived."
But just as the couple were settling into their busy routine at their Darnley home, including working out how to feed three babies every four hours through the night, things took a turn for the worst.
One-by-one, the babies picked up the RSV virus, which affects the respiratory system and can be serious in premature babies.
They had to be taken to Yorkhill within days of each other last month.
Baby Indy even stopped breathing and had to be revived by doctors in A&E.
The couple have spent a month with one, two and, at one point, all three of their babies back in hospital.
Daryl said: "They spent a great deal of time in the ICU unit and then in recovery on the wards. In babies over one year it just presents as a cold, but it's more serious for pre-term babies.
"Obviously they were on ventilation and it can be very worrying, but the staff knew exactly what they were doing."
Thankfully, all recovered and little Oscar is the only one still at Yorkhill. Because he was the smallest he was the worst affected by the illness.
But he's lived up to his name, which his parents picked because it means "wee champion".
Now, guzzling his bottle, it's hard to believe he was so frail.
He's doubled in size and now weighs 5lb.
Baby Finn weighed 3lb 12oz when born, his sister Indy weighed 4lb 2oz and Oscar weighed 2lb 2oz when born.
Daryl said though they're thrilled at the prospect of getting the whole family back all home again they know it's not going to be easy.
He said: "I'm sure in the next couple of weeks it's going to be really stressful. We have had a lot of family visiting from New Zealand to help, but I can see that's going to dry up."
The triplets were conceived after the New Zealand-born couple had IVF treatment.
When born Finn weighed 3lb 12oz and Indy was the heaviest at a still tiny 4lb 2oz.
The couple moved to Britain five years ago, when Daryl joined Leicester Tigers rugby team. They later moved to Glasgow and Daryl is now four months into his two-year contract with the Warriors.
The Warriors' inside centre, who played 19 times for the All Blacks in 1999-2002, has not even missed a match since they were born.
And he's now working on a special project with his Warriors team-mates.
The Warriors have chosen Yorkhill as their official charity and have pledged not to shave during November to raise cash for the hospital.
They'll also be collecting donations at their home matches.
And it won't be long before the babies are able to go see dad in action.
However, mum and dad aren't sure whether they'll support Scotland or New Zealand on the international field.
Daryl said: "I have had a lot of comments that they are actually Scottish and can play for Scotland. And I'm sure my girls will turn out as good at rugby as the boys - they are certainly bigger anyway!"
Liana added: "I do not know if they will support New Zealand or Scotland - but they owe Glasgow and Scotland a lot, the only reason they are here is because of Glasgow.
"I don't think we'd get the same service somewhere else, it's such a fantastic hospital."
Donations to the appeal can be sent to Yorkhill Children's Foundation, quoting "Glasgow Warriors", at the Royal Hospital for Sick Children, Yorkhill, Glasgow, G3 8SJ, or call 0141 201 6917. Alternatively, look out for Daryl's team mates at the next Glasgow home game, where donations can be made in person.
