They weren't the result of fertility treatment, and they are even more rare, because they were born at home, with no high-tech treatment at all. All survived. And here's the rare part: they were identical, I'm pretty sure. Cathy Weeks Mommy to Kivi Alexis 12/01 |

Doubts aside, It's true. I know them personally.

in which case you can suggest to them they resolve these issues, a picture of mum resting in hospital and a scan picture would help, there are a lot of fake multiples sites on the internet, so people are not going to send money unless they are sure someone is genuine. Anne |

I respect your privacy and do expect you to do so in such a forum. But what I imagine is that you want further authentication of and information about the Dixon Quads story. The reason for a P.O. Box for the Quad Fund is because the family does not have a home of their own. And for privacy and security reasons, they would not offer it to the hundreds of daily visitors to their website even it if they did. And the person that is the Trustee on the account is not 'a random person' but rather the great grandfather of the Dixon Quads. Since they are not a non-profit organization, checks are made out to the Trustee of the account. This cause, the Dixon Quad Fund, began locally as a grass-roots promotion in the Dallas area. If you are in the DFW area, tune in to The Word 100.7, Christian Talk Radio, on Wednesday, April 6th. That afternoon there will be a live interview and discussion on the family and the Fund. Click here for talk radio station's website: http://www.thewordfm.com In the least, please add Liz Dixon and the Quads to your prayers. |
Thanks for your suggestions, Anne. I'll pass them on.

Hi, folks. I'm Liz's dad. Liz & Donny live upstairs in my house, Archie
Bunker style. Wish I could alleviate any skepticism on anyone's part, but the safety and security of these babies dictates that a hard address is not posted publicly. My father-in-law, Ken Owens, lives nearby, and serves as Trustee to insure funds donated are used appropriately. All donations through the P.O. Box are acknowledged by returned letter with Ken his address. Photos -- Photos in the hospital have not been feasible lately as Liz has spent most of the past five weeks on magnesium, making her terribly weak and ill. I'm sure photos will abound once the babies are safely in this world. Whether you are convinced to contribute $ or not, please, invest a few minutes on your knees praying for safety in the labor and delivery of these babies and their mom. As we speak, Liz is not quite 26 weeks along, and her doctors do not think they can hold off delivery for much more than another week. Babies born prior to 28 weeks are at very high risk, as is the mother. Cheers! REW |

Actually, ma'am, the folks here know a great deal about me. I've been here for years, and my first post to the newsgroup was not a plea for money. The same cannot be said for you. You might be the most sincere creature in the world. Or, you might be the creator of the website, the recipient of the funds, and a shyster extraordinaire. How are we supposed to know? Just because you say so? Sorry. I'm busy caring for, and paying for, my own four children. --angela |
Hello all. My name is Meredith. Liz is my sister. Raymond, just
above, is our father. [ Hey, Dad :o) ] And I'm the aunt to the Dixon Quads and the adorable almost-one-year-old Logan. I understand that someone on the outside may be skeptic to the story, but it is as real as it gets for my family. While my sister is not the only mother of 5 children out there, she and her husband are facing an enormous daily struggle, a reality of continued medical bills and health problems to come. As for right now, as my dad said, we're just praying for those babies to stay put a while longer; hoping that Liz's body stays strong through it all. So, here's my sincere plea: Pray for my sister. I know in my heart that it is the prayers and generosity of strangers that will see our family through this. Thank you. AuntM, signing off. ;o) |

No $$$, as I've got my own twins and another on the way :-) I just wanted to pass on to you that my twin daughters were born at exactly 26 weeks gestation. They will be two on Friday and are doing very, very well. One is completely caught up in every area, and the other has some delays that are getting less pronounced with each passing week. They are happy, healthy girls. I just wanted to share that, because I know how much I lived for preemie success stories when I was hospitalized for impending delivery at 25 weeks. Again, best wishes. -- Paula Mom to Olivia and Cassie (b. 4/8/03 @ 26 weeks) ^Grace^ (b. 5/16/02 d. 5/17/02) and ^Adam^ (b/d. 5/17/02) and a little BOY due 7/4/05 :-) |

Doubts aside, It's true. I know them personally.
You should suggest to your friends that they apply for medicaid to pay the medical expenses of pg. They allow fairly large income when covering pg women. KC |

They showed all 4 babies and interviewed both parents. Not much else was said about the babies so I guess they're doing ok all things considered. Please note - I'm not in any way affiliated with the family, and I lurk here a lot but rarely post. My only exposure to the story was the original post and thread, and I just happened to catch the story tonight on the news and thought I would post an update. Amanda |
