same. They weren't weighed or cleaned up
when they came from the delivery room.
They were put into the isolettes immedi
ately. Dr. Berboa said he thought their
weights would range from 2V4 pounds to
4 pounds. This turned out to be a very
accurate prediction.
While the babie3 were being delivered,
the anesthetist kept a record of their birth
times and manner of delivery on a cloth
sheet in the delivery room. Later, Mrs.
Marguerite Dorman, supervisor of the
maternity floor, made copies for each of
us. There were about 14 people involved
in the delivery and nursery work that
morning.
After the delivery, Mrs. Fischer was
exhausted. A nursing sister and I stayed
with her to make sure she had absolute
rest. She slept during the morning and
by noon was more her usual self. It
was about that time that flowers and tele
grams (including one from President
Kennedy) began arriving and she was
able to appreciate them.
Later that day, I acted as one of the
sponsors when the Most Rev. Lambert
A. Hoch, the Roman Catholic bishop of
Sioux Falls, baptized the babies.
The evening after the . delivery, Mrs.
Fischer went to the nursery in a wheel
chair to see the babies. She was given
ambulatory privileges the same night.
Hers has been a good, normal recovery
despite the fact that she had given birth
to five babies.
In her hospital room she was sheltered
from most of the public excitement about
the quints. She did attend a news con
ference the next Tuesday. I think it took
her a couple of days to realize the situ
ation fully.
The Fischers impress me as a very
close-knit family. Mr. and Mrs. Fischer
are steady people, and I think their fam
ily is the most important thing in their
lives. I am certain they will make every
effort to give their children all of them
a normal life.
Mr. Fischer told me he hoped the fam
ily could continue to enjoy the good life
they had. This family life is something
very precious to him. A day or two after
the births, he was asked whether he might
leave his farm home for a city home. He
replied that he had chosen where they
live to give his children a good place
to grow up.
Mrs. Fischer is shy and reserved. When
she talked in the hospital, it was about
her children. She missed her five older
ones at home, and she was anxious to
see the quints and expressed concern for
their well-being.
She is, I think, worried about the enor
mous responsibility of the new life she
and her family face. But in spite of her
concern, I am sure she will be able to cope
with whatever the future may bring.
