Fox-mauled twins 'doing really well'

THE mother of baby twins savaged by a fox in their cots said yesterday she has been "astounded by their resilience".

Pauline Koupparis said nine-month-old Isabella and Lola were recovering "really well" now they had returned home from hospital.

She said the family were having counselling to help them come to terms with the attack. Mrs Koupparis thanked the public for being "wonderfully supportive" and said family life was slowly returning to normal.

In a letter to Vanessa Feltz, who presents a show on BBC Radio London, she said: "Life has more normality now, which is just the tonic.

"The girls are doing really well, both are back to normal in terms of their behaviour, a little more clingy perhaps but children's resilience astounds me. Lola's face is healing incredibly. Isabella's arm is not so great but am sure in time will get better."
