Miracle Babies
by Lou Sat Jan 03, 2009 2:59 pm
Parents who feared the worst for their twins born 14 weeks premature have celebrated their homecoming.
Chloe and Sophie Kerr weighed just under 2lb (0.9kg) each when they were born in Plymouth, Devon, in September.
Doctors at the city's Derriford Hospital were so worried about the twins' fragile skin that they put them in Tesco freezer bags.
But after three months in care, doctors allowed the twins to go home on Christmas Eve.
Parents Neil and Tracy are calling the twins "our little miracle girls".
The doctors wanted us to have our babies home as a lovely Christmas present
Tracy Kerr
Marketing manager Mrs Kerr, 30, has suffered three miscarriages, once with twins, in the past and said a serious urinary infection triggered the early labour.
She said: "Doctors warned us that one or both of the twins might not survive.
"We call them our little miracle girls.
"The doctors wanted us to have our babies home as a lovely Christmas present."
The couple have three sons, Brandon, 12, Mason, seven and Kane, nearly two.
Mr Kerr, said the three months before Christmas were tough as the twins underwent several blood transfusions and were on ventilators until three days before going home.
The 29-year-old electrician said: "It was a miracle Christmas.
"We enjoy our children and doing things as a family.
"Our children mean the world to us."
The news is always so depressin I thought this was a lovely story. Born at 26 weeks!! Amazing

Makes a change to hear good news. Don't envy them though, a toddler plus newborn twins. Rather them than me.
