I don't normally publicly solicit help for things like this, but my brother and his wife could really use some extra prayers right now.
Reader's digest version. BreAnn is 31 weeks pregnant with twins. She thought she was going into labor on Friday so went to the hospital. Turns out she has kidney stones and one of the babies is basically sitting on the kidney without the stones. A catheter was inserted into her back and will probably have to stay there until the babies come. They thought she might have a blood clot in her lung, but later determined that it was pneumonia. She was transported to Utah Valley Hospital because it has better equipment for her condition. They expect her to be in the hospital until Wednesday.
As bad as that is, they are going to have to be paying for all these costs out of pocket. In January IHC will be making donations to a number of patients that will essentially be free services. We are hoping and praying that they will be selected.
Right now the babies appear to be doing fine. The doctors are hoping that she will make it four more weeks before delivery.
Any prayers that could be offered in their behalf would be greatly appreciated. We are so blessed to have so many wonderful people in our lives. I will keep the blog updated with any changes.

will definately keep them in my prayers. hope everything turns out ok.
A slight update to that.
BreAnn's going into surgery today to have the kidney stones taken out. They're doing this to try and make it so they can take the catheter out. The doctors are worried that if they leave it in she'll get an infection that will ultimately make her induce labor.
Thank you for the update Tiff.
