One year ago today, April 27, 2011, I got the most frightening phone call that forced me to jump into action just before midnight. Amber had been on bed rest with her twin pregnancy at home for about 5 weeks, and then had been hospitalized for almost two weeks because of a condition called preeclampsia. She was being rushed to the OR for an emergency C-section 5 weeks before her twin boys were due because of her blood pressure...her life was in danger! As quickly as I raced around trying to get to the hospital, I felt like I was treading in a dreadful sea of molasses! I was forever grateful that I made it to Labor and Delivery before she was wheeled into surgery, and got to kiss her goodbye and wish her well. Her sweet little boys were delivered at 1:10 and 1:11 a.m., and after some poignant moments for a picture or two, Noah Andrew and Adrian Reece were whisked off to the NICU. So this is an anniversary that I am reliving with a roller coaster of emotions, and yet praising God for protecting my courageous daughter and her precious baby boys!
