The twins were born january 7th and both came out not breathing. One was med flighted and the other taken by ambulance both to iowa city. Levi recovered quickly but Liam had severe issues. His kidneys, liver and brain all took a hit. They cooled his body for 3 days to preserve the organs from any further damage. He ended having to do dialysis for over a week to save his kidneys and he has damage in a cognitive section of his brain. Cerebral palsey is possible. They discovered a hole in his intestine and they had to perform emergency surgery to give him an ostemy. He has been in Iowa City for a .onth and a half with no timeline of coming home. Two days ago April fell on the ice and broke her elbow and today fell and broke her ankle which needs surgery to fix. April and Mike will be out of work for an unknown amount of time due to these accidents as Mike will have to stay home and take care of them. Anything will help, even to mail them a card. 2523 Washington St. Dubuque IA 52001. Mike's Venmo is mrethwisch. If you care to donate there as well. Thank you to all who help.
