The World’s First Surviving Septuplets – 20 Years Later(PART II )

Seven Bundles of Joy
On November 19, 1997, and nine weeks early, all seven babies were born via cesarean after the McCaughey’s had spent a lot of time with the doctors and frequent checkups. The babies were born healthy within six minutes with each one ranging between 2lb 5oz and 3lb 4oz. It was a wonder what will happen to the world’s first surviving septuplets. The world was eagerly watching as the family received a lot of media attention as soon as the news broke out about the seven embryos.

All the babies – four boys and three girls – made it through the delivery, ready to face life. I guess the McCaughey’s must have gone on a name search mission with news of expecting seven babies at a go. They had all the babies’ names ready at birth, including Kenny Robert, Alexis May, Nathan Roy, Natalie Sue, Kelsey Ann, Brandon James, and Joel Steven in order of birth.

The family received a lot of donations from several well-wishers, including a house, nanny services, diapers, a van, and more.

The birth of the septuplets gathered media attention, making the McCaughey’s famous with a feature in Time magazine, President Bill Clinton wishing the family well, meeting President George Bush, and appearing on The Oprah Winfrey show.

Although all the kids were healthy, Alexis and Nathan had difficulties walking as they were born with cerebral palsy – a condition that affecting coordination and movement.  Nathan taught himself how to walk while Alexis walks with the help of a walker. The McCaughey septuplets are thus the world’s first septuplets to survive and thrive through infancy.

(Photo: File) At least 30 people were killed in separate incidents of lightning in various parts of the country in the past 24 hours. While   Rajasthan reported 18 deaths , Uttar Pradesh recorded 12. Causalities have also been reported from Madhya Pradesh. Earlier in June,   20 persons were killed   in lightning strikes in three districts of south Bengal. Deaths due to lightning have become frequent in the country. In July last year,  40 people were killed  by lightning in Bihar in two separate incidents. So, why — and how frequently — does lightning kill in India? How common are deaths by lightning? More common than is sometimes realised in the urban areas.
