Oldest Twins in UK Celebrate 102nd Birthday

Britain's oldest twins Betty Richards and Jenny Pelmore have a double reason to celebrate New Year's Day - it is also their 102nd birthday.
The sprightly siblings came into the world on January 1, 1908 - the year Henry Ford produced his first Model T car.

They were born in Manchester when King Edward VII was on the throne and the doctor who delivered them arrived - on horseback

Betty and Jenny are both widowed and still live near each other in Feock, near Truro, Cornwall.
They plan to celebrate their big day with friends and family - with a gin for Jenny and brandy and ginger for Betty.

''They are both amazingly well and fit and see each other all the time," family friend Tricia Prescott said.

''They spent Christmas and New Year together as always and are in fine health.''

Mrs Pelmore insisted she didn't think about her age much. "The secret is keep smiling and keep going," she said.

''Life is much faster now but the only thing I don't understand is computers," Betty added.

Great grandmother-of-two Jenny was a nursery teacher and married Hugh Pelmore, an RAF pilot who raced Bentley cars.

Betty was a secretary and married Brandon Richards in 1936 and had children Peter and Gina.

Surgical Operation On ‘Eight-Limbed Girl’ Successful

Bangalore: A two-year-old girl named Lakshmi, who born with eight limbs, underwent an extensive surgical operation by a group of 40 medical doctors on yesterday night to leave her with a normal body.

Lakshmi suffers from ischiopagus that means she is joined to a parasitic twin, which blocked up growth in the mother’s womb. The developing foetus wrapped up the limbs, kidneys and other parts of the body.

In Luxmi’s case, the twins are attached at the pelvis and have single head and two pairs of arms and legs. The surgery, funded by one of India’s new scientific multi-speciality hospitals in Bangalore, is a 40-hour trial.

Dr. Sharan Patil, the orthopaedic surgeon at Sparsh hospital, said that Lakshmi reacted very well during the surgical operation. He also told that the first incision was made at 8.45 am.

“There were a few unexpected things but we were able to maneuver them satisfactorily. Things are progressing to our satisfaction and Lakshmi is stable,” he added.

Lakshmi was born into a poor family in a outside village in the northern state of Bihar, where people have respected her as an living form of the Hindu goddess ‘Lakshmi’.

Mr. Shambhu, Lakhshmi’s father stated, “Everybody considers her a goddess at our village. All this expenditure has happened to make her normal. So far, everything is fine.”

The surgery contains a bigger risk. The surgeons have to separate not only two backbones but also the two abdomens, four excretory organs and two chest cavities.

Doctors disclose that there is a 20 percent risk that Lakshmi will not survive.

"The complex surgery is being carried out to remove the extraneous parts very carefully and move up all structures into Lakshmi without causing any harm," Dr Patil said.
