My brother in-law and his wife were expecting twins at the end of December. Instead her water broke around 2 AM yesterday.
The babies are very early, and very tiny, and we are all very very worried.
Both babies were life flighted to a hospital with a NICU which is about an hour's drive from my bro & sis-in law's house. She hasn't been able to visit them yet because she had to deliver the second baby via emergency c-section and is still in the hospital in their home town.
I am asking for you help in two ways. First of all, please pray for them. All of them. It's going to be a very scary couple of days/weeks/months.
Secondly, I have set up a donation fund for them, considering the exorbitant hospital bills they'll have, plus the cost of driving and staying in town to visit the babies, and all the other extra costs associated with situations like this. My bro-in-law is a student and his wife will no longer be working, since she is so obviously needed elsewhere.
If you could please give what you can, and spread the word of their need. I have a made a button if you want to add one to your blog. This is the first time I've tried to do one of those get the code box thingies, so I hope it works:
Thanks to everyone who can help! I'll give updates on the babies when I can, right now we are just waiting and praying.

Prayers going up for the babies and for her.
I do want to say that I had twin preemies myself and I know this time is hard for your family. NICU time is a rough roller coaster ride, but it's necessary and important for those babies! Please tell them my thoughts and prayers are with them. I know the comfort of our Savior will be a strength to them through this. It was for me. On a more "physical" note, please tell them that the most important thing they can do is keep their hands clean and make sure anyone who comes to visit washes and washes and washes their hands. I can't stress it enough.
But in a year, they will look back on this time and think, "Look how tiny they were! But look how HUGE they are now!!!" Best of luck! My heart is with them.
Those preemies.......anxious little boogers.......they just can't wait to get here!
