She has my prayers.......and so do those little ones...Your a good friend...be there for her...:-4

So sad :-1



:yh_pray

I am praying for your friend and her twins. I hope it works out somehow.:yh_pray :yh_pray :yh_shamrk :-4

I miscarried twins ten years ago. That was hard enough, but what your friend is going through is even worse. I will definitely pray for her. St. Anne is the patron saint of mothers, so I shall pray especially to her!

God Bless your friend.

Wow thats terrible. isn't that what health insurance is for though. What if she didn't have insurance would she get any help at all.

We are so lucky to have a goverment health insurance in OZ, it doesn't matter what the cost is the goverment cover it all, that is one of the very good things here.

I hope everything works out well for it, it must be a really difficult thing to have to go through, my sister when through a similar thing with twins. the both lived and are now ten yr old.

My thoughts are with you and your freind.

My prayers are with your friend and her little babies. What is the surgery you mentioned? A type of procedure to help even out the nourishment going to the other little guy?

This type of news always saddens me....I delivered/lost a little baby at 5 months back in '99............also a dear friend of mine had her ultrasound last wk (she is 5 months) and found out baby has heart defect and is Downs Syndrome....

That's so hard... I've been through so much... but even I can't imagine what she must be going through... My prayers will be for her, the babies and the entire family... and you for being such a good friend. The support staff is most crucial :-4

If I may be so bold as to offer advice... should she ask.. and if you agree...

She has to do what's best for HER... what SHE believes is best for her babies and what SHE can live with... all the advice she gets and the recommendations from doctors, etc.. is just that... advice and recommendations... she has the final vote. God bless.:-4

after reading robinseggs...

and if you are Christian may I recommend a wonderful book...

Can You Drink the Cup by Henri J. M. Nouwen

You have my prayers. The Lord will see her and her twins through in Jesus name.

Thanks for update Susie! Still praying for your friend and her little babies whose lives have barely begun!!!

They are still conjoined twins with much surgery ahead of them. I will keep them in my thoughts.......... it's so hard to know a child is going to start life with a struggle. I think that if these babies survive they will be strong people.

Thats wonderful news. Christmas time will be a happy time this year and next year at this time the boys will be here to share it with them.

I don't believe that the babies are conjoined, are they? She said the babies share the same fluid/blood supply. I think this has something to do with the umbilical cord or yolk sac. But I am pretty sure no body parts are shared. In other words if these babies will be better off born premature than staying in the womb. And then should thrive and no surgery should be needed. Am I right on this tmbsgirl?

I stand corrected.

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyy!!!!! This is wonderful news!! God bless her and the little babies!!! And tmbsgrl, you are a special friend to this mother!! Just imagine, because of you, people from all over the world prayed for this mom and her unborn babies!

Twins....two precious gifts. Wish her all the best and give those babies a lovely hug each. :yh_flower

Sorry I missed this the other day.

I am so glad that your friend and her boys are ok!

Tell your friend to sleep now when she can. My DH is a twin and if the stories his mother tells are any indication - your friend may never sleep again!

tmbsgrl wrote: Yeah they are still in the hospital because they want the 4 lbs baby to be at least 6 when he leaves the hospital. They are keeping my friend and the bigger baby.


awww I hope little 4lb thrives and gets out of the clink soon. hehehe Just happy they are doing well. Do let us know the names when you find out.... I love hearing what people name their babies, tough enough to name one never mind 2 Send our warm wishes her way.

Congratulations to the new mom of twins!! Now comes the fun part of raising them. Surely all the fear and uncertainty she experienced to get them here will smooth the rough times/challenges that lie ahead with parenting. She will certainly have a much different outlook than some.

Consider it done.

Now they can't get him to the temperature he needs to be at. They have Chase in an Incubator with him for body heat. I already email my pastor & I have a Prayer chain going to the boys & their family. :yh_pray So will you please join us in prayer?? :-4


Oh gosh hunny I am sorry to hear this The babe is in my thoughts (if I prayed I would)

tmbsgrl wrote: Thank you all so much.. She seems to be doing better. She has been talking to a DOC in Seattle that says if the insurance doesn't pay for the surgury then he will do it for FREE! She has been put on bedrest for the remaining time of her pregnancy. They say that if she has this surgury then there is a 75% chance that BOTH babies will make it! Thanks for all your prayers! We really appreciate it.


We should all pray a blessing on that doc for being willing to do the surgery for free in addition to praying for the babies and their mom.

thoughts are with them all:yh_pray

tmbsgrl wrote: Ok. One of my friends is 4 months pregnant.. She went to the ob/gyn today to find out the sex of her twins.. Doc says they are Identical boys.. Obviously that is not the problem.. Doc says that they are both sharing the same amniotic fluid & Blood supply. One of the babies hearts is 35% bigger than the other one (which is fatal) The other baby is severely under weight from giving the other baby most of what he has.. They are saying that since they found this now and not a couple weeks ago it could be fatal to BOTH babies. If they had found this out weeks ago they would have had her abort one to save the other. She has the option of going through surgery.. But it is a matter of if the insurance will pay for it.. it could be up to 100,000 for the surgery... Please pray for my friend and her 2 babies.. Thanks.:yh_pray :yh_pray

The gift of Life is the greatest gift of all, for it is a gift that no man can give. I'm remembering back to a crisis I went through when my wife had to have an emergency Caeserean after twenty-three hours labour. Anybody who says the husband doesn't go through it is talking rubbish. I went through Hell and back, and reading through these posts has brought it all back. The birth of any child is a miracle. I'm just glad there's nobody here in the room to see me, because I've got myself all upset remembering it. May it be sufficient to know there are people out there who pray in deepest sincerity for others.
