An Update About Celeste and Kris

Hello all! This is Justin's wife Mindy. We were excited to let all of you know that Celeste and her husband were expecting twins a few weeks ago. Well, now they need your prayers. She is about 21 weeks and they have discovered that the babies (both boys) have something called Twin to Twin Transfusion Syndrome. The babies are sharing a single placenta and thus blood circulation. As a result, it is possible for her to lose one or both babies as both are fighting over blood supply. We remain steadfast in the belief that Heavenly Father is watching over them. It is very possible that she will be put on bedrest ASAP and that the babies may be delivered as soon as 24 weeks. They will travel to Denver this week to see a specialist and gain further information about the condition and where to go from here. Please keep them in your prayers and I know they would greatly appreciate any emails or phone calls. Kris is away during much of the week with his duties in the military. As many of you know, pregnancy can be a difficult time even if everything goes perfectly. I can't image what this must feel like with your first baby or babies! Also our thoughts and prayers go out to the Rivera family and their baby. We continue to have all of you in our constant thoughts.
