RICHMOND, Va. (IPI—A 32- year old mother of five chil¬ dren gave birth to quadrup¬ lets, all girls, yesterday and doctors described their con¬ dition as "good."
Their condition was compli¬ cated by a blood incompatibil- ty condition, however, and the tiny babies were rushed into especially prepared in¬ cubators.
The quadruplets were bom to the wife of Richard H. Shais owner td a downtown
Richmond cafe. They were bom through normal delivery within 14 minutes between 4:12 and 4:26 P. M.
Dr. W. Hughes Evans, who delivered the children, said their condition was "good." But he said the babies may require complete transfusions of blood. "There is still a good chance transfusions will not be necessary, however," he said.
Evans said the chiloi-en were placed in isolettes, which ho  dMchbod  as  "high-pow¬
ered" incubators. He aaid lab¬ oratory tests were underway to determine if blood trans¬ fusions would i>e necessary.
Mrs. Stiaia's five other chil¬ dren range in age from ono year to school age. A sixth child died of a blood condi¬ tion similar to that present ia the quadruplets.
Dr. Evans said tha quadrup- leU weighed four pounds, seven ounces; four pounda two ounces, three pounds 14'A ounces and threo pounds u ounces.
