FEBRUARY 20,1985 (Continued from page 1) By Robert Gordon PUtadMtor HwaM aUH w^ter Every parent knows that caring for one newborn infant can be a fulltime job. But wheb that responsibility is multiplied by four, it is time to call out the emergency troops. Ana that is just what McHenry couple Dan and Laura Koleno did after the boy or girl they originally expected arrived as two boys and two girls more than six weeks ago. In order to feed the quadruplets" open, crying mouths and keep up with the fidgety four's schedule, the Kolenos have more than 40 volunteers working weekdays in shifts virtually around the clock. . iT Most of the volunteers are relatives or members of the Koleno's church, Resurrection Catholic Church in Woodstock. The couple has a weekly chart set up near their telephone, indicating which of the volun­ teers work each shift. Those contributing their time either help care for the babies, cook or clean the bouse. "They've (the church members) been planning this as long as we've known that Laura was pregnant," Dan said. "I don't know exactly why (I volunteered)," said church member and good friend Bobbie Genovese, who works the noon to three shift. "Just because there is a need. When there was a call for help, everybody responded well." LOST While responding to a fire alarm, the McHenry Township Fire Dept. lost a portable generator from one of its vehicles. The loss occurred on Industrial Drive on Tues. Feb. 5th at about 5 p.m. Anyone hav­ ing information about this incident should call the McHenry Police Dept. The generator may be returned to the fire station at 3610 W. E Im St. with no questions asked.

GREEN ST.,McHENRY, ILL60050 (815)344-0060 The 40-volunteer rotation is not a permanent situation, but instead a temporary routine the Kolenos are following until the babies are older ana Laura is back to 100 percent. "I'm still tired for parts of the day, but I'm feeling pretty good for the most part, Laura said. She gave birth by Cesarean section and stayed in Loyola tal during Thanksgiving , s and New Year's Day. Although the Kolenos have been receiving so much help from volunteers, the work in­ volved in taking care of the newborn is still a difficult project. "I'm supposed to be napping during the day," Laura said. "But who's got the time?" Two volunteers are present from 7:30 a.m. to 7 p.m. and 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. In addition, a nurse, provided free by Loyola Hospital until March, worn at the home from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. weekdays. "We're hoping by the time they are two months old, the babies won't need help throughout the night," Laura said. Full baby bottles fill half of the top shelf of the Koleno's refrigerator, along with a bulk of baby food and formula. Diapers are provided free by Northern Illinois Medical Center, and are truly ap­ preciated by the couple since each baby goes through 12 of them a day. The fearsome foursome are currently set ,up in the living room, with two of the infants sleeping in a wooden crib decorated with colorful teddy bears and balloons,and two of them resting in white wicker cradles.* "They don't look anything alike," Laura said. "Thev are four different looking babies." "We ioke around and talk about when they learn to crawl, they're going to crawl in four different directions," she said. The Kolenos are quick to point out that each baby is growing and progressing at different and already showing fferent personality traits. They said Robert is "alert, active and inquisitive." Holly is passive"; Joshua is natured" and Jacqueline is quiet and just starting to open her eyes. However, all are loved equally. i "I think you're favorite is whichever one you're holding at the time," Laura said. "They all have such different per­ sonalities, there's no way you can pick a favorite."

However, in Laura's case a fertility drug known to cause multiple births probably was partly responsible for the quadruplets. , "I was overwhelmed, and I said, 'We only ordered one," said Alice Kadney, Laura's mother.
