Quadruplets born to 65-year-old woman to leave hospital soon

[TexasTowelie]

BERLIN (AP) — Doctors in Germany say quadruplets born prematurely three months ago to a 65-year-old woman are doing well and can leave a Berlin hospital soon.

Charite hospital said Tuesday that the babies all weigh more than 2.5 kilograms (88 ounces) and should be able to go home this month. The quadruplets are a girl named Neeta and three boys named Dries, Bence and Fjonn, who were delivered during the 26th week of pregnancy by cesarean section on May 19.

Mother Annegret Raunigk is believed to be the oldest woman to have ever delivered quadruplets.

The retired schoolteacher already has 13 other children aged 10 to 44 from five fathers. She traveled abroad to have donated, fertilized eggs implanted, a procedure that's illegal in Germany.

4. You can never predict when someone will go

Frank Gifford just died and had both his kids in his 60's and they are mid 20's. I thought he was going to died in their teen years but he didn't.

3. Poor babies. It is likely their mom will be gone

While they are in their teens.

Will she have help caring for them? Toddlers especially wear you down.

What was she thinking? Was she trying to reclaim her youth? Can't accept. The changes in her life? Can't find something new to focus on?
