Need prayers!!! Updated 3/12
I just got a call from my MIL back home...
my DH's cousin's wife is 5 months pregnant with twin boys.
she's hemorrhaging and lost one of the boys this morning...
this family has been through enough, two bouts with leukemia and now the loss of one of their twins.
please pray that they save her and the other boy. I can't offer them my support in person since I'm far away, the least I can do is summon the prayer power of a few caring strangers
please pray for them
ETA: I got an update from MIL. She's losing the other baby too. She started bleeding last night, went to the hospital, 3cm dilated, they transferred her by ambulance to another better-equipped hospital and she was 10cm and the babies were in the birth canal when she got there She will give birth tonight. I'm still hoping for a miracle for the surviving boy, but I know it's a long shot. She's only about 20 weeks along. 
I just can't imagine the pain they are going through.
Update 2/26: Well, some information got mis-interpreted. Both babies were still alive yesterday and only one baby was in the birth canal.
After the last update, her labor stopped. The doctors said they'd wait and see if anything else happens. One baby was still in the birth canal. This morning, her water broke.
She gave birth about an hour ago to 1 pound baby Samuel. He grabbed momma's finger and everyone got to hold him. He lived a half-hour before he passed.
Baby Dominic is still in his sac and in the uterus. At this time, they are waiting until Sam's placenta passes to see what happens with Dominic.
Please pray for this family! Please pray that Baby Dominic survives and please pray for his angel brother!
Update 2/26 evening:
Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers, they are helping... Dominic is still hanging on! Sam's placenta came out and her cervix closed. There is a concern for infection, but at least he's still in there. A glimmer of hope after the worst day of their life. Please keep praying!!!
Update 2/28:
This is a clip of the update straight from mom:
..........After delivering Samuel the Dr’s were pretty sure that Dominic would follow shortly behind. However, my cervix closed and have yet to go back into labor with Dominic. The dr’s have informed us of so many realities yet have allowed us to keep some hope as well. The medical professionals have informed us it would almost be a one in a million chance that Dominic make it another 4 weeks. He needs to hang on atleast another 4 weeks at an absolute miminum before they would even try to save his life. The Drs do not believe this will happen but our willing to try as much as we all can to see if this can happen. Furthermore if I get an infection then there is nothing that can be done and I will have to deliver Dominic. However, if I can get past 24 weeks then he would go into NICU when he is born and they will do everything they can to save him. I will not be leaving the hospital until he is born so I am hoping I will be here for a very long time.
There are so so many unknowns and no one knows what lies ahead. Our family has experienced a lot with T's (daddy) cancer, relapse, Bone Marrow transplant and then our struggle to conceive Dominic and Samuel. However nothing has shaken us as the death of our little boy has. This has been such an incredibly hard time for us and our family and friends. We have never experienced anything this tragic however we are taking each day at a time. We thank each and every one of you for all of your prayers and support. It really means so much to us. .......
Please send continued prayers to them. We're praying for a miracle for little Dominic.
On a side note, I'd like to send them something to commemorate baby Samuel and a package to help mom during her bed rest. Does anyone have any suggestions?
___________________________
Update 3/1:
Thank you again for all your prayers. They continue to bless this family as Dominic is still hanging on. If she makes it until Tuesday (one week after Sam's passing), Dominic will have better than a one in a million chance. Keep praying and sending your good thoughts that he stays in for many more weeks.
As they were putting monitors on her yesterday, Dominic kicked her really hard. He is a little fighter! 
I'm hoping my next update won't be for many more weeks. Please continue to send prayers and good thoughts!!
-----------------------------------------------
Update 3/12:
I'm very sad to post that Dominic joined his twin brother in heaven early the morning of March 9th.
Things were looking so good, she was breaking all the rules the docs said. "J" (the mom) and "T" (dad) were informed after she gave birth to Samuel that there was a piece of Samuel's placenta/cord that was still in her body and it was inevitable that she would develop an infection from it sooner than later and they would have to induce labor or she could die. They didn't tell anyone that it was inevitable because they wanted people to remain hopeful. They were holding out hope that Dom would make it to 24 weeks before she developed the infection and then they would try to save his life in NICU.
Friday night, she started having mild contractions and then a high fever. They induced labor Saturday night and Dom was born at 1:54am on Sunday. He lived for about a half-hour before he passed.
The funeral home held Samuel just in case Dominic died too. They will be buried together next week.
Everyone in our family is heartbroken. T and J are just numb, what will get them through this is their 20-month old daughter. Please pray for them.
