Hospital says quads born to 65-year-old doing well

BERLIN -- Doctors say quadruplets born prematurely a month ago to a 65-year-old woman in Germany are doing well and gaining weight, but one remains on a respirator.

Berlin's Charite hospital said Wednesday the four babies -- a girl named Neeta and three boys named Dries, Bence and Fjonn -- have put on 30 to 50 percent of their birth weights since they were delivered by cesarean section May 19.

The hospital says one has been taken off a respirator, but another still needs help breathing.

Annegret Raunigk, a retired schoolteacher, has 13 other children aged 9 to 44 from five fathers. She traveled abroad to have donated, fertilized eggs implanted -- a procedure that's illegal in Germany.
