So the woman who we saw in the clinic on Saturday with toximia had twins yesterday! It's a crazy story, but here's my best summary: Rose (the mother) got pregnant and tried to abort the babies with pills for 45 days at about 4 months. She is desperate, as her and her husband simply cannot afford to keep them. They can barely feed themselves and the children they already have, and they have no options, and the husband can only find sporadic work (he's trained as a carpenter.) She came into our clinic at 7 months pregnant because she was in such pain (that was the pre-eclampsia and toximia.) We took her to the hospital, she was refused entry, and we brought her back later that night because she was getting worse. The twins were born in the hospital, Rose still doesn't want them because she can't care for them, and the orphanage we are working with will take them in 3 weeks when they get out of the incubator. They are actually as healthy as they can be (even though they are only 2 pounds each!), but Rose's health is still unknown. She's been vomiting black stuff, and she really needs God's help, through the doctors and God's people. She could never afford to stay in the hospital, but we've committed (along with Jeff Long from the orphanage) to keeping her and the twins there until they are healthy. I don't want to fundraise in the blog, so email me at jcampbell1999@verizon.net if you want to ask more about the money. We got to visit mom and twins in the hospital, here are some pics. By the way, if you click the pictures anywhere in the blog, they get full size.

Twins!!! How amazing! May God bless them and keep them safe. Are they identical? How much do they weigh? They look pretty big!
they each weigh about 2 pounds, and we don't know if they are identical. we might get to name them.
