My wife is pregnant with twin boys. Yesterday, she went into pre-mature labor. The twins are ony 22 weeks along, and if they deliver in the next two weeks they wont survive. The doctors are doing everything they can to stop the delivery, but the prognosis isn't promising.
I would appreciate your prayers for our unborn children, my wife and for strength of character should the worst happen.
Thanks
My thoughts will be with you and your wife. I wish you the best.
Prayers on their way.
I'm returning to the hospital and will not have a chance to respond for days perhaps. Again thanks
Prayers on the way that everything goes well.

'Healing power of prayer revealed'
Research shows prayer has a beneficial effect
A massive study has found that patients admitted to hospital with heart trouble fare better if someone is praying for them.
None of those involved were told that people were engaging in what is known as "intercessory prayer" on their behalf.
Just over half of these, picked at random, were made the subject of intercessory prayer.
However, on average, the 500 patients prayed for had 11% less complications during their stay in hospital.
In all, the researchers looked at 990 people admitted to the coronary care unit over the course of a year.
Using a standard coronary care scoring system, patients from prayer and non-prayer groups were assessed. Those who were the subject of prayer did better than their fellow patients, although in general, they did not get out of hospital any earlier.

Prayers sent! Please keep us posted if possible, I know how hectic the coming days will be. My wife is a NICU nurse, and even if delivery happens before 24, miracles occurr daily. Keep God in your heart and we'll keep you and your wife and twins in our prayers.
