I found out I was pregnant with identical twin girls when I was 40 years old. They also developed TTTS and I was immediately sent to Cincinnati, Ohio. Your story is sooooo similar to mine. Bladder issues, kidney issues, one was swimming in a pool and the other was in saran wrap essentially. I had the same procedure with 2 liters of fluid drained off. I was monitored extremely closely. With lung, and heart meds to give them the best possible outcome. C-section was scheduled at 32 weeks. They were born at 2lbs 15oz and 3lbs. They were in the NICU for almost exactly a month and discharged. Not a single significant health issue...just need to grow. We now have 2 very happy healthy just turned 9 year olds in September. YOU GOT THIS MAMA!
You never have to apologize for anything Lauren! Your whole family is going through so much right now. Just know, we will always be here for you! Even if it is a short video because you need to unload your feelings somehow! I will be praying and hoping for God to work his magic. Until then, spend lots of time with the boys, Mark and family and get lots of rest! We will be here when you come back. Much love to all of you.
I used to work NICU as a respiratory therapist. I’ve helped deliver and grow 22-24 weekers. It’s a long journey but lots of them have grown up and are now absolutely thriving!!! Be encouraged. Lean on your medical staff. You got this momma. ❤❤❤
I couldn't agree more. My son was born at 26 weeks a whopping 2 lbs 3 ozs 39 yrs ago. I can't imagine the improvements since then. He's happily married with two girls of his own. Margaret 2 1/2 and Ruth born three weeks ago. He a healthy loving man.
My cousins daughter was born at 28 weeks after waters going from 24 weeks no success at stopping them she was 2lb 14. Shes now nearly 6ft and 18. Medical Miracles happened back then never mind now ❤
I was born at 25 weeks in the early 1980’s at 1 pound ten and a quarter ounces and or 745 grams. I have had open heart surgery when I was 4 weeks old as one of the valves didn’t close properly. I have grown up and I am happily married to my beautiful Hubby and we have two precious boys of our own. Our Heavenly Father is so good. I do have a few chronic illnesses (endometriosis and chronic kidney disease) which we only found out when I was pregnant (at age 30) as I had Gestational Diabetes (and we are so very thankful that Dr sent me to a Renal Specialist soon after we had our son as he wanted to get some results checked out) with our first precious son who is now 10. God is a God of miracles. He knows our needs before we do. I have an amazing team of Dr’s and Specialists who take great care of me and I have had many great Dr’s and Specialists who also cared for me so many years ago when I was born so very unwell.
My church moms group is praying for you and your family. I had a friend who's twins also developed TAPS after TTTS surgery. They were told the same thing by the doctors in Denver. Her boys are now 7 years old and living happy healthy lives. I hope this gives you comfort and hope.
My great granddaughters were momo ttts twins. My granddaughter had the laser surgery by the surgeon who created the procedure here in Florida. Believe me when I tell you that miracles DO happen. They are 4 years old now and bundles of energy and joy. Keep your faith in our Father in heaven.
I just read that the majority of twins in this situation will survive with normal lives. I’m going with this. You got this mama. We are praying for all of you.
Lord, surround these two precious babies and lay your healing hands upon them. Please be with this family and give them peace as they walk with you and hold them in your living arms. Thank you Jesus for hearing our prayers and blessing these little girls along with their parents and siblings….please Lord lift them up and help us to know how precious these girls are and to know that you are with them, in Jesus name!❤
I am continuing to pray for a miracle for your precious girls. You have been so generous and brave to share this with us. We are so honored to walk with your family and lift them up in prayer. Hugs to you, Mark and the boys. ❤️
I continue to pray for your sweet babies, you, mark, and the boys. I worked in a high risk labor and delivery for almost 20 years. I have seen so many babies make it despite terrible prognosis and not only survive but thrive. Babies weighing less than a pound, babies who had one diagnosis in utero but come out with little to no issues. God is with you and carrying you through. ❤
Thank you @lynnebrown-hardy1566--that is such a lovely message for all of us learning and continuing to pray for these wonderful babies and this sweet family. God's blessings to you. ❤
Tanking for sharing this very difficult journey,with these baby girls,crying with you and praying to the God who moves the mountains,he is with you and loves you and these girls and your family and you are all in his loving care,and I am believing for you and with you for miracle after miracle,sending big hugs from a grandma of 6 in nzxxx
My niece had the same thing happen to her. I'm happy to say the boys are now in the 7th grade at school and they did fine. Miracles do happen Lauren and I hope everything turns out okay. I will put you on my prayer list. God bless this couple and the babies.
Oh Lauren and Mark - I am just weeping. You are two of the most beautiful human beings I have ever “known”. I am adding my prayers to God. May these babies grow and thrive and be born safe and healthy (even if they come early). Please God, May it be so. Please God, protect this family in these difficult times. Please pay special attention to these beautiful brothers! How hard for them - to be away from their wonderful mother and father! God bless these baby girls.
Sitting at work watching this video. Our grand daughter was born 5 weeks early at Cincinnati Children's Hospital. She was diagnosed with CDH 3 months before her birth. She had so many people and churches praying for her. She's doing good. Never forget, God is in control. I've been praying for your girls, and I paused the video to pray again. I love your family, and I'm praying it expands by 2 more. 💞💞🙏🙏
I'm at a loss for words, Lauren. I can see how difficult this is for you. There is so much love on this channel for you. I hope that you feel it and it brings you some comfort 🙏🏼
Oh Lauren, watching this update hurt my heart so much for you, Mark and the boys. You take all the time you need. SO many have your family in their prayers and we will continue to pray for this miracle. ❤️🙏🏻❤️
I’m not a particularly religious person but I’m sending so many prayers to Lauren, Mark and their boys and the baby girls that everything works out. They are such a lovely very family and deserve only the best. I have everything crossed that they will get good news about the girls. I will be thinking of them all. Take care, hugs to all. Cher x
I am a nurse and knew that the surgery, while really scary, would give your girls the best chance. Complications arise but stay strong and trust in the Lord. God is good!
This is an uplifting video because we see a testimony of a family who is trusting God in this very difficult situation! We will continue to pour our prayers out to God on your behalf. Tears are good Lauren and totally understandable! Take what time you need. We will continue to pray no matter whether you post or not! God is our shield and tower in our time of need! Sending our love, thoughts and prayers!
You don’t have to worry about being uplifting for us. You focus on you. Mark and the boys. I’m sending you and the family all my love and prayers. You take your time
My heart is so heavy-NOT BROKEN-for y'all!!!! Please stay strong, and get some rest!! Don't worry about US!!! We will be here for you ALL, whenever you need us!
Dear Lauren. Yesterday you were on my heart so much. I am praying, praying, and praying for you and Mark, the boys, and your precious baby girls. I have twins too so I understand your emotions, it’s such a roller coaster. Please, get the rest that you need right now. We understand and we don’t want you to expend your energy for us. All of your RUclips family are wrapping you up in prayer. We know that you will get back to us when you can. We will all be here. 🙏🏻💕
Oh Lauren!! Crying with you. Praying for you and those sweet baby girls. Don’t lose hope and try as hard as you can to just surrender everything to Our Father. You’re so strong and He gave you this cross because He knows you will carry it beautifully. Miracles DO happen. Our family will continue to pray for you each day. Much love and hugs to you, fellow TTTS twin Mama ❤
I know exactly how you’re feeling I was carrying triplets, but in the end only one survived. He truly is a miracle we were told not to get our hopes up, because there was no way he would survive but I couldn’t give up while he was fighting. The mix of emotions when I was being told at least I had one survived all I can remember thinking why are people so cruel? All these babies were precious even more, so because I could never carry another baby to give a sibling to my son, who wanted nothing more. Take all the time you need and give yourself grace. This is your journey and only yours and never give up hope because sometimes against all the odds a miracle can happen and I only hope you also have your miracle like mine💞
Don’t feel bad for not filming. Spending time with your family without worrying or filming is much needed for you and your family, prayers going to you guys
I am sending hugs and prayers. My TTTS warriors just entered their freshman year of high school and are exceptionally healthy girls. Our surgery was at 18 weeks and we delivered at 31 weeks. They were born healthy and just needed to grow before leaving the NICU. I pray your girls follow the same path. Our girls are year-round soccer players. Sometimes as I watch them, I flash back to the fear we felt at the time of our diagnosis. It seems surreal when I think of that time period. Praying your surgery went well and that your pregnancy continues uneventfully.
Lauren, I wish we could do more than continued prayer, you all are in our minds all the time. Please, RUclips is the last thing on your mind. Please take care of yourself and your family. Lots of love from Canada.
Oh Lauren, I am so sorry to hear this news, usually I am a silent watcher but this is heavy on my heart. I'm crying my eyes out here, I'm hoping for a miracle as well for these baby girls, wishing upon stARS, and all the things. I fell in love with you and your family about 2 years ago, feels like we are friemds/family. I am 45 years old I could never have kids. im living in Ohio. Oh gosh honey I'm just rambling now, but PRAYERS FOR YOU, THE GIRL, AND THE REST OF THE FAMILY. I LOVE YOU ALL!!!
Like you, I’ve been a silent watcher since the video about the gender reveal came up in my suggested to watch video section. I clicked and immediately subscribed to this channel. I’m 59 and was also unable to have children. I root for others struggling, or having complications. I prayed for every family member on this channel as well as for the Doctors, staff, and everyone involved.
I prayed for you, the baby girls, your family, extended family and Luna as well. She’s being a good support kitty. I have chronic illness and a year ago a kitty showed up in my back yard. I didn’t even like cats and did everything to get rid of him. He kept returning and once Winter arrived I decided to feed and shelter him. I named him Mule Lee due to his stubbornness and fell in love. Well, needless to say Mule Lee is still here as Winter approaches again. He has been a wonderful companion. He’s my profile picture sitting in my garden table. I’m rambling, but by seeing the love and support from Luna made me share in hopes of brightening your day during this difficult time. I will continue to pray for you all.
The end of this video hit hard! I cried with you! Prayers for the girls will be sent every day, I wish there was more we could do for you, mark and the boys 🙏🏼💕
Some day the girls (both)are going to watch this video and see how loved they are. Even before they were born, they were loved beyond compare. We will put positive thoughts out in the universe. Peace and love and light to you and your beautiful family.❤
Lauren, hang in there. I know how awful this rollercoaster ride has been for you. However, prayers can produce miracles. Know that God has your girls surrounded by angels. Thanks for thinking of us despite everything you've had to endure. I'm praying for strength and peace for you and Mark and of course the boys. Film when you feel up to it. We will be here. Sending love and hugs. 👶👶💗💗🌺🌺
Lord Jesus I pray you keep Lauren and Marks babies safe until it’s time for them to be born. Please do a miracle and fix the medical issue these sweet babies are having. These babies are so loved and wanted, please god protect them, Keep them safe until it’s time for them to be born. Amen🙏🏻 Lauren and Mark, I am praying for you and these sweet babies. We serve a miracle god and that is my prayer for these babies. I pray god gives you both comfort and peace until these babies are born. We love you and your family❤️ You are a blessing to me, and all who watch you, we’re all praying God’s miracle healing touch on these babies🙏🏻💖💖 Love you both ❤️🙏🏻
My heart goes out to you. It doesn’t seem at all fair. I’m watching your journey from Australia and hope that you can feel the warmth, love and support from people all around the world. Take care ❤
Sending prayers for you, those beautiful babies and Mark and the boys. God is good and miracles happen everyday. He is with you Lauren and your sweet babies. When two or more gather in his name. There is a great number of us out here praying. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️.
Being a twin mama myself, I know the fears that go in to having a scary and difficult pregnancy. These precious miracles are in Gods hands. He will protect them and hand them over to you when he sees they’ll be okay to conquer the world outside the womb. Prayers for you Mama! You’ve got this.
❤ DEAR LAUREN, TAKE ALL THE TIME YOU NEED WE WONT LEAVE YOU AND YOUR BEAUTIFUL FAMILY I 'LL CONTINUE TO PRAY FOR YOU AND YOUR PRECIOUS TWIN BABIES GOD IS WITH YOU EVERY STEP OF THE WAY ❤ LOVE AND PRAYERS TO EVERYONE❤
My continued prayers are with you, Mark, the boys and the babies. I started a novena to St Gerard Majella who is the patron saint of expectant mothers. When prayers go up - blessings come down.. God Bless all of you.
Praying for all of you. I told you about my nieces that were born at 25 weeks last year. They are beautiful and healthy and thriving! I am praying for miracles lean on God he’s got you!
Oh sweet Lauren! My heart is broken for you and your family. Please know that you all are being uplifted by so many. Don't feel the need to apologize for taking care of yourself and your family. We will all be here whenever you are ready to share with us again. Take time for you and know that your followers are praying for the Hamm family.
Lauren I have shared my story on a different video with my daughter. The doctors had told me a list of things that would be “wrong “ with my daughter including Down syndrome, blindness and deaf and that she had to much fluid around her heart, they were wrong about everything. She is now 3 and when you were sharing the bad news she came a sat on my lap. I will continue to pray for you and these babies. ❤
Being pregnant with twins is enough stress on your body. We have 2 sets of twins in our family, each of the Mom's went through a myriad of problems. All arrived on the small side, but healthy. I will keep you and your family in my prayers. To you, Lauren, I send you love and blessings.
In this moment I’m praying and if I were there I’d hug you gently . Your giving me and others such a gift right now. Your allowing us into your life and giving us the opportunity to meet with God to pray for you. Those moments when we pray are just as much your gift to us as the prayers are to you! Gods Blessings to you and your family 🙏🏻
Stay close to Him! My last baby had a 4% chance and I was told after weeks of ultrasounds that I had to “make a decision”. 3 days later, the next ultrasound was perfect! We serve the God of miracles. I bleed the blood of Jesus over this pregnancy. Let these girls be tiny yet mighty! With an amazing birth story. ♥️ Praying, praying, praying. All of our Mama hearts are breaking along with yours. Things don’t always make sense. BUT, His ways are higher. Love you sister.
PRAYING HARD for you!!! ❤ His strength is made perfect in our weakness. He is carrying you through this, as you REST in Him. Sending you love and so many prayers! ❤
NEVER feel alone!!! You have a team of people around the world thinking of you. The hardest test of your life. Please be strong! Sending lots and lots of love.
Lauren and Mark know that prayers and blessings are being lifted up constantly throughout the day! We are all praying consistently for you and your family! Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and feelings! This is an uplifting story because God is with us all! You are not alone. At any point, know that you are being wrapped in prayers and blessings! God will give you all the strength to show His grace and mercies! You are all loved and greatly appreciated!🙏🏼❤️
Lauren, you take all the time you need with your family, we all will be here waiting for you when you're ready. I'm sending hugs and prayers for all of you.
I am praying for Mark, you, and the girls. My cousins were born at 24 weeks and were very tiny. They are now beautiful 16 year old girls. So miracles do happen.
Oh Mama. As a fellow Twin Mama, my heart is with y'all- sending nothing but hope, peace and love. Your beautiful girls are so loved - I am praying for your family and especially these babies. ❤
Praying all the way from North Carolina! You and these babies are in gods hands and miracles happen every day! You take all the time you need with your family!🩷
In my opinion #1 Mom of the Year. The Girls are surrounded by Love. That is All they need. That is the comfort that consoles. I am glad you are with Your Alaska Boys. Big hugs, this is heavy, but your Faith will see you through. I trust in that, it has always been my guide. You are loved, your whole Family, we are All walking with you. We are blessed.
This is a roller coaster that you would’ve liked to have gotten off, but so glad you stayed in Denver at the last min! I’m praying for you and your family night and day, you are doing all you can do, that is all God asks us for. You’ve got this sweetie ♥️♥️
We will keep praying for you Lauren and Mark and the kids it so hard to see you going through this but we have to keep praying for them we love and care for your family so much. ❤
My cousin had exactly this experience with her twin boys, they are now heathy, happy 20 year olds! Miracles do happen and we will pray from here in the UK x
Hugs from 🇨🇦 Lauren It took so much strength to share this, let alone edit and upload. Having to share details with family privately is difficult enough. I've been there Lauren and during that time any intervention often resulted in loss. Our medical capabilities have excelled over the years. It's no consultation living it in the moment. We are here and with you ❤️ Hoping for the best outcome for you and the girls. Please take this time with family and be kind to yourself through this journey. We aren't ever given more than we can bare despite the way it seems.❤
Lauren, I am so sorry that you and your family are going through this. Praying for all of you and especially for the girls. May God touch the babies with healing and give you the peace of knowing that God is with you. Please care for yourself and stay calm as you can. Sending prayers and good vibes your way.
Aw, my lovely, my heart goes out to you - no matter what God will look after you - I don't normally pray but today I will start again for you and your babies. Love and hugs to all of you.
My husband and I are sending you much love and prayers. God is with you and your family. You are a strong and amazing woman! You give us all so much strength.
Sending you, Mark, the boys and those sweet little girls so many prayers. God is walking with you, and he will protect you all. Just know we all love you and there is no reason for you to apologize or feel badly about letting out what ever feelings you need to.
Lauren, I’m praying for a miracle! Prayers are the only reason I’m alive. And the power of prayer is unbelievable. DON’T give up of hope. GOD is so good!
For you to have shared so much with us all already is amazing. The girls have such a beautiful family waiting to see them I'm sure they are feeling how much they are loved and are fighting so hard for you all. Time for us to lift you up a little while you take care of the 3 of you.. Best wishes as always from the UK
You are so brave and you will get through this! There IS light on the other side; no matter the outcome. I had a pregnancy with terminal fetal anomalies and it honestly felt like a death sentence at the time, but my strength as a mother to my then four year old got me through it. My son just turned 18 on October 27th and we are happy, healthy, and humbly grateful. I hope and pray that you and your family have a different outcome, but please know that you will be OK regardless because you have each other.
Lauren, take the time you need for you and your precious family. Know that we are all praying for you during this time. We will be here when you are ready to post again.
God's got this !!!! Miracles DO happen. Anyone who believes in prayer, let's continue to do so.
❤❤🙏❤
God Bless all of you! Praying for a miracle!
Amen🙏🏼
🙏🏽🎀🎀 AMEN
Praying for you and your family ❤🙏🙏🙏

Lauren, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
After my tough pregnancy, I can say: Miracles DO happens! Praying for you and your family ❤
I am sending hugs and prayers. My TTTS warriors just entered their freshman year of high school and are exceptionally healthy girls. Our surgery was at 18 weeks and we delivered at 31 weeks. They were born healthy and just needed to grow before leaving the NICU. I pray your girls follow the same path. Our girls are year-round soccer players. Sometimes as I watch them, I flash back to the fear we felt at the time of our diagnosis. It seems surreal when I think of that time period. Praying your surgery went well and that your pregnancy continues uneventfully.
Hi Julie!
So many people are praying for you and thinking about you. You take care of yourself Lauren. God’s got you! ❤
Praying for you, Mark , the boys and the beautiful miracle girls.
Lauren, I wish we could do more than continued prayer, you all are in our minds all the time.
Please, RUclips is the last thing on your mind. Please take care of yourself and your family. Lots of love from Canada.
Oh Lauren, I am so sorry to hear this news, usually I am a silent watcher but this is heavy on my heart. I'm crying my eyes out here, I'm hoping for a miracle as well for these baby girls, wishing upon stARS, and all the things. I fell in love with you and your family about 2 years ago, feels like we are friemds/family. I am 45 years old I could never have kids. im living in Ohio. Oh gosh honey I'm just rambling now, but PRAYERS FOR YOU, THE GIRL, AND THE REST OF THE FAMILY. I LOVE YOU ALL!!!
Like you, I’ve been a silent watcher since the video about the gender reveal came up in my suggested to watch video section. I clicked and immediately subscribed to this channel. I’m 59 and was also unable to have children. I root for others struggling, or having complications. I prayed for every family member on this channel as well as for the Doctors, staff, and everyone involved.
I prayed for you, the baby girls, your family, extended family and Luna as well. She’s being a good support kitty. I have chronic illness and a year ago a kitty showed up in my back yard. I didn’t even like cats and did everything to get rid of him. He kept returning and once Winter arrived I decided to feed and shelter him. I named him Mule Lee due to his stubbornness and fell in love. Well, needless to say Mule Lee is still here as Winter approaches again. He has been a wonderful companion. He’s my profile picture sitting in my garden table. I’m rambling, but by seeing the love and support from Luna made me share in hopes of brightening your day during this difficult time. I will continue to pray for you all.
Let’s all give props to Miss Luna the emotional support kitty.😺
Miss Luna knew something was wrong with her mommy, didn't she. She looked like she wanted to hug Lauren, as do all of us. Our fur babies know.
Cats feel how we feel and that's a fact ❤

Sending love and hugs. 👶👶💗💗🌺🌺

Being a twin mama myself, I know the fears that go in to having a scary and difficult pregnancy. These precious miracles are in Gods hands. He will protect them and hand them over to you when he sees they’ll be okay to conquer the world outside the womb. Prayers for you Mama! You’ve got this.
❤ DEAR LAUREN, TAKE ALL THE TIME YOU NEED WE WONT LEAVE YOU AND YOUR BEAUTIFUL FAMILY I 'LL CONTINUE TO PRAY FOR YOU AND YOUR PRECIOUS TWIN BABIES GOD IS WITH YOU EVERY STEP OF THE WAY ❤ LOVE AND PRAYERS TO EVERYONE❤
Lauren, I’m so sorry y’all are going through this. Our God is a God of miracles and I am praying for a miracle for your girls.
My continued prayers are with you, Mark, the boys and the babies. I started a novena to St Gerard Majella who is the patron saint of expectant mothers. When prayers go up - blessings come down.. God Bless all of you.
Lauren, praying for the girls, you ,and the rest of your family.
Praying for all of you. I told you about my nieces that were born at 25 weeks last year. They are beautiful and healthy and thriving! I am praying for miracles lean on God he’s got you!
Oh sweet Lauren! My heart is broken for you and your family. Please know that you all are being uplifted by so many. Don't feel the need to apologize for taking care of yourself and your family. We will all be here whenever you are ready to share with us again. Take time for you and know that your followers are praying for the Hamm family.
Lauren I have shared my story on a different video with my daughter. The doctors had told me a list of things that would be “wrong “ with my daughter including Down syndrome, blindness and deaf and that she had to much fluid around her heart, they were wrong about everything. She is now 3 and when you were sharing the bad news she came a sat on my lap.
I will continue to pray for you and these babies. ❤
Being pregnant with twins is enough stress on your body. We have 2 sets of twins in our family, each of the Mom's went through a myriad of problems. All arrived on the small side, but healthy. I will keep you and your family in my prayers. To you, Lauren, I send you love and blessings.
Praying for a miracle and God to give you strength. Just know we’re all here for you. We love you guys.
In this moment I’m praying and if I were there I’d hug you gently . Your giving me and others such a gift right now. Your allowing us into your life and giving us the opportunity to meet with God to pray for you. Those moments when we pray are just as much your gift to us as the prayers are to you! Gods Blessings to you and your family 🙏🏻
Stay close to Him! My last baby had a 4% chance and I was told after weeks of ultrasounds that I had to “make a decision”. 3 days later, the next ultrasound was perfect! We serve the God of miracles. I bleed the blood of Jesus over this pregnancy. Let these girls be tiny yet mighty! With an amazing birth story. ♥️ Praying, praying, praying. All of our Mama hearts are breaking along with yours. Things don’t always make sense. BUT, His ways are higher. Love you sister.
From one twin Mom to another my prayers are with you and your amazing family ❤
PRAYING HARD for you!!! ❤
His strength is made perfect in our weakness. He is carrying you through this, as you REST in Him. Sending you love and so many prayers! ❤
NEVER feel alone!!! You have a team of people around the world thinking of you. The hardest test of your life. Please be strong! Sending lots and lots of love.
Lauren and Mark know that prayers and blessings are being lifted up constantly throughout the day! We are all praying consistently for you and your family! Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and feelings! This is an uplifting story because God is with us all! You are not alone. At any point, know that you are being wrapped in prayers and blessings! God will give you all the strength to show His grace and mercies! You are all loved and greatly appreciated!🙏🏼❤️

Lauren, you take all the time you need with your family, we all will be here waiting for you when you're ready. I'm sending hugs and prayers for all of you.
I am praying for Mark, you, and the girls. My cousins were born at 24 weeks and were very tiny. They are now beautiful 16 year old girls. So miracles do happen.
May all the Hamm family be at peace at this time. Miracles can and will happen 💕🙏
Praying for your family. Heavenly Father will never leave you and loves you so much.
Oh Mama. As a fellow Twin Mama, my heart is with y'all- sending nothing but hope, peace and love. Your beautiful girls are so loved - I am praying for your family and especially these babies. ❤

Sending prayers 🙏🙏 for you Lauren, Mark, and the boys, and for those precious baby girls. You are a wonderful family. We all love you guys. ❤
Prayers for you guys from Florida. He is our burden bearer. Lean heavily into His shoulder.
In my opinion #1 Mom of the Year. The Girls are surrounded by Love. That is All they need. That is the comfort that consoles. I am glad you are with Your Alaska Boys. Big hugs, this is heavy, but your Faith will see you through. I trust in that, it has always been my guide. You are loved, your whole Family, we are All walking with you. We are blessed.
This is a roller coaster that you would’ve liked to have gotten off, but so glad you stayed in Denver at the last min! I’m praying for you and your family night and day, you are doing all you can do, that is all God asks us for. You’ve got this sweetie ♥️♥️
We will keep praying for you Lauren and Mark and the kids it so hard to see you going through this but we have to keep praying for them we love and care for your family so much. ❤
My cousin had exactly this experience with her twin boys, they are now heathy, happy 20 year olds! Miracles do happen and we will pray from here in the UK x
I am praying for you and Mark and those precious babies. God has got this!! ❤
Hugs from 🇨🇦 Lauren
It took so much strength to share this, let alone edit and upload.
Having to share details with family privately is difficult enough. I've been there Lauren and during that time any intervention often resulted in loss. Our medical capabilities have excelled over the years. It's no consultation living it in the moment.
We are here and with you ❤️
Hoping for the best outcome for you and the girls.
Please take this time with family and be kind to yourself through this journey.
We aren't ever given more than we can bare despite the way it seems.❤
You don't have to apologize for nothing, with here for you❤, everything 🙏 going to be ok 🙏🙏 with your babies.
Lauren, I am so sorry that you and your family are going through this. Praying for all of you and especially for the girls. May God touch the babies with healing and give you the peace of knowing that God is with you. Please care for yourself and stay calm as you can. Sending prayers and good vibes your way.
Aw, my lovely, my heart goes out to you - no matter what God will look after you - I don't normally pray but today I will start again for you and your babies. Love and hugs to all of you.
Lauren, i have no words but sending prayers and love as you walk this journey.
Stay strong guys - everyone is praying 🙏 and thinking of you all ❤🏴
Continued and continuous prayers & HUGS to you all!! ❤️❤️
Praying for miracles. When the communities come together, miracles can happen. Sending love and hope.
My husband and I are sending you much love and prayers. God is with you and your family. You are a strong and amazing woman! You give us all so much strength.
Sending you, Mark, the boys and those sweet little girls so many prayers. God is walking with you, and he will protect you all. Just know we all love you and there is no reason for you to apologize or feel badly about letting out what ever feelings you need to.
Lauren, I’m praying for a miracle! Prayers are the only reason I’m alive. And the power of prayer is unbelievable. DON’T give up of hope. GOD is so good!
For you to have shared so much with us all already is amazing. The girls have such a beautiful family waiting to see them I'm sure they are feeling how much they are loved and are fighting so hard for you all. Time for us to lift you up a little while you take care of the 3 of you.. Best wishes as always from the UK
You are so brave and you will get through this! There IS light on the other side; no matter the outcome. I had a pregnancy with terminal fetal anomalies and it honestly felt like a death sentence at the time, but my strength as a mother to my then four year old got me through it. My son just turned 18 on October 27th and we are happy, healthy, and humbly grateful. I hope and pray that you and your family have a different outcome, but please know that you will be OK regardless because you have each other.
My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Every minute of everyday just keep fighting and loving your family xx
Lauren, take the time you need for you and your precious family. Know that we are all praying for you during this time. We will be here when you are ready to post again.
