Weighing just 3lb between them, Sunderland twins Jack and Thomas Ferry weren't expected to survive after being born four months early.
Parents Helen Morgan and David Ferry were told to expect the worst after their sons were born 16 weeks early at Sunderland Royal Hospita l on April 11, 2001. The pair were so tiny that they were dubbed the "sugar bag babies," with Thomas weighing just 1lb 10oz and brother Jack weighing 1lb 6oz.
The pair spent four months in Sunderland's intensive care unit hooked up to machines to help them breathe while their internal organs finished forming. They had four blood transfusions each to keep them alive and underwent laser treatment to their eyes and had hernia operations during their time in hospital.
