German 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 on May 19.
The hospital says one has been taken off a respirator but another still needs help breathing.
Annegret Raunigk is believed to be the oldest woman to have ever delivered quadruplets.
The retired schoolteacher already 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.

Makes perfect sense, she will only be 83 when they are ready for college
I sometimes wonder what people are thinking when they do things just because they can
Maybe they get paid so much money per child???? I have no idea either RIO.
IMO, this women is nuts.
Wow... The nesting drive in this woman is something else!
By using donated eggs she reduced the risk of Down's Syndrome with the babies significantly. Still....I can't help but ask..... why?
I share your opinion......
