Help Clayton & Taylor's twins, Hazel and Sabel

Donation protected
Family and friends, Clayton and Taylor urgently need your help due to the recent medical issues that have been found with the twins. The set of twins they are having are what is called Monochorionic-diamniotic twins which is very rare and means the babies share a placenta. Mono-Di twins adds so many risks for the babies and mom as well. During a recent ultrasound it was found that Hazel (Baby A) has one less blood vessel connecting to their shared placenta than her sister Sabel (Baby B). This is causing her to get less nutrients than her sister and it was recently found out that she has a double bubble (duodenal atresia). A baby with this requires surgery after delivery because there is a blockage somewhere between her stomach and small intestines. Hazel is struggling to swallow because the amniotic fluid is pooling into a sac which will need to be drained in a procedure called an amniotic-reduction every 2 weeks with a large needle that will be inserted into Taylor's stomach and into the bubble in Hazels intestines, at Barnes  Hospital in St. Louis. This can cause preterm labor, infection, bleeding, etc. Taylor will be having visits with doctor and specialists in Springfield on the weeks her and Clayton don't travel to St Louis to monitor both babies and the growth of the bubble. As the doctors try to get Taylor as far along as possible in the pregnancy, she will then have to deliver the babies at Barnes Hospital in St Louis where baby Hazel will be rushed to the NICU  at St Louis Children's Hospital and then into the complicated surgery to repair her intestines. After surgery she will require intensive therapies to teach her how to eat and swallow. With all this being said, Clayton has a full time job and is their only source of income due to Taylor's high risk pregnancy and neither of them have a reliable vehicle,  so they will be relying on other family members to help transport to all these visits. With so many risky appointments and hospital stays ahead of them I am asking for you to help in whatever way you can, so Clayton can be there for Taylor and his baby girls. The money you are willing to bless them with will go towards travel expenses, food, bills they can not pay due to missed work days for Clayton, and ongoing medical expenses and appointments they will have in their future. Please keep this family in your prayers and any donation will greatly be appreciated!!
