Quintuplets, Now With Full Names,
Pass Through Greatest Danger Period
ABERDEEN, S. D. (UPI) -The
Fischer quintuplets broke
through their greatest danger
period today and their proud
mother celebrated with prayers
of thanksgiving and Holy Com
munion.
The five quints, each of them
with a full Christian name at
last and thriving on a diet of
milk formula laced with vita
mins, passed the 72-hour "dan
ger period" of their tiny lives in
which their doctor had warned
the perils of premature birth are
greatest.. Today, pnysjcians saia,
their chances for survival were
at their brightest.
Mrs. Mary Ann Fischer awoke
early and received the Roman
Catholic sacrament of Holy
Communion from Father Vin
cent Healy, a visiting assistant
pastor at Aberdeen's Sacred
Heart church.
She was saying prayers of
thanksgiving when she was
visited by Sister Mary Stephen,
administrator of St. Luke's Hos
pital. "It's the best night I've had."
the auburn-haired mother said.
"I slept all night."
Her babies also had a fine
night. Sister Stephen checked
with the nursery and reported
"they eat, sleep and wiggle like
normal babies."
The quints are still tolerating
their food four to six ounces her father's mother, about Vk
of milk formula every twu
hours and are drinking it all
down, the sister said.
She indicated the decision
might be made today on when
Mrs. Fischer, 30, can go home
to her husband and their other
five children. Her departure
might come as early as Wednes
day, it was reported, the quints
will have to stay in the hospital
for an extended period
The latest progress report on
the five tiny bundles of energy
was "Condition fine, and all on
milk formula." The fact that
all five were strong enough to
change from their sugar-water
diets to the formula was encour
aging.
Monday night their father
stood before a news conference
in the hospital cafeteria and
softly announced the names he
and the mother had picked.
Said 38-year-old Andrew Fisch
er, a wholesale grocery clerk:
"I want to thank the hospital
staff, the doctors, the lawyers
I ask for your prayers to
keep them (the quints) alive . . .
We have named the babies."
Here they are, in order of
their birth:
Mary Ann, named for her
mother, weighs about 2 pounds.
Mary Magdalene, named for
pounds.
Mary Catherine, named for
Sister M. Stephen, the hospital
administrator, who previously
was Catherine Davis, Sioux
Falls, S.D., weight 2k pounds.
"Sister Stephen has been so
good to us," Fischer said
James Andrew, named for Dr.
James Bcrbos, and the father,
weighs about 3'-i to 4 pounds.
Mary Margaret, named for
Mrs. Marguerite Dorman, head
nurse of the obstetrics ward.
Weight, 2'4 to 3 pounds.

"great encouragement for our
position in the world."

out the trip.
'Successful' Trip
He later told reporters that
it was a "very succesful" trip.
He said there is "great recog
nition of the objectives we are
working toward" and he had
come away with the feeling that
the United States has many
friends in the nations he visited.
During the trip, Johnson made
stopovers in tive nations Nor

son was greeted Monday by a
cheering crowd of wellwishers,
plus Communist demonstrators.
Fights broke out between the
Communists and pro - Western
demonstrators in Reykjavik, the
capital city, where John son
spole in a packed university

Disturbance Broken Up
The Communists carried ban
ners reading "no submarines"

up the disturbance and no injur
ies were reported.
Johnson arrived in Iceland
from Denmark. He had planned
a stop - over in Greenland, but
the visit was cancelled.
Sources said Johnson cancel

he was wearied by his schedule

"The influence you have ex
erted on world affairs is far out
of proportion to the number of
your population," he said, "and
the United States is proud to
stand by Iceland as a friend and
ally."
