when i was pregnant with jillian i was thrilled to find out that mandy, a friend in my ward, had the same due date. she already had three children but had since had six miscarriages. tragic news came shortly after the first timester. she was pregnant with twins that shared a heart and a liver, conjoined at the belly. after all her doctors urged her to terminate, and many prayers later she choose to carry. the doctors didn't expect her to make to the third trimester. suprisingly sept. rolled around and the sweet twin girls were scheduled to come c-section a month early. again the doctors prepared for the worse, stating that the seven chamber heart won't last minutes past birth. now the twins are exactly a month older than jill and doing very well. mandy is now expecting a boy the same week i am due!
mandy never wanted to public with her story, not knowing if it was the right thing to do (requesting help etc.). now the girls have a possibility of being separated and recieving artificial hearts until a donor is available. with this possibility the family is looking at being out of state for several months and many expenses. they have now come public. please check out their blog and donate if you're able. if not with funds please pray for their family. http://emmaandtaylorbailey.blogspot.com
