THESE are the three little miracles whose survival has confounded medical opinion.
Born three months premature, tiny Julia weighed just 1lb 12 ounces when she arrived at Dublin's Rotunda hospital in May while her sisters Sarah and Katie weighed in at just under 3lbs.
Parents Jim and Jayne Patterson from Clonmore, Templemore, Co Tipperary were warned that none of the three might survive.
But, as our picture shows they did, albeit after a long time in the intensive care unit.
The trio are pictured with Jayne and Jim and elder brother Callum.
The proud parents say their biggest worry now is correctly identifying the new arrivals.
