Suleman Gets a House and Around The Clock Nursing Care
The Suleman family is moving into a house and thanks to Dr. Phil the babies will receive care from nurses around the clock. Suleman’s dad reportedly bought the house but I just saw the same guy on Oprah last week saying he only had 100.00 in his bank account so I’m not buying that one.
Here are some excerpts from the story in People Magazine’s website:
The 2,583-foot four-bedroom, three-bathroom house in La Habra is “a good house for kids,” with a huge yard, Mike Patel of Prudential Realty tells PEOPLE. “It’s a good house for a big family and there is room to add on more rooms.”

The house, listed at $564,900, has a short escrow that should close later this week, Patel says. He adds he represents the owner, who didn’t know the Suleman family before the deal came together. “They just happened to like this house,” Patel says. The official buyer is Nadya’s father, Ed Doud.
The neonatal intensive care nurses specialize in premature infant developmental care, says Linda Conforti West, CEO and founder of Angels in Waiting. The agency would have 14 nurses a day, four to five at a time, working around the clock, representatives recently told PEOPLE. Normally, they say, that kind of care would cost about $135,000 a month. The nurses’ salaries are paid by the organization.
The arrangement comes amid pressures at home. At least some of Suleman’s other children are angry over the impending arrival of the octuplets, Suleman tells The Insider.
“[They're] externalizing their anger. Internalizing it. They become more withdrawn and get a little more sad,” Suleman tells the show. “One of my kids for a while, I noticed, he didn’t want to deal with the reality of what’s going on. I noticed some tears coming down his face. I held him for ten minutes and he held me back and that’s all he needed.”
At least we now know the babies will be taken care of but I’m personally concerned about the other kids. It’s going to take more than 10 minute hugs for the six of them.
