(AP) Minneapolis The last surviving Morrison sextuplet is doing well and should be going home soon.

Spokeswoman Allison Sandve of Children's Hospital and Clinics of Minnesota says Sylas Morrison is "progressing well."

Sylas was born with five siblings nearly four months ago. Monday would have been roughly the due date for his mother if she were having a single-child birth.

Sylas was one of four boys and two girls born on June 10 to Brianna and Ryan Morrison of St. Louis Park. The babies were born four and a half months prematurely and weighed from just under 11 ounces to about 1 pound, 3 ounces.

Three of the boys died within a week of birth, and the two girls died later.

At the family's request, the hospital is releasing no other information about the surviving baby's health.
