9 years ago I met the man of my dreams it was love at first site. He was everything I had ever dreamed of in a man. Well we dated a few times and all was great. One night he said I got a surprise for you. I was excited as to what the surprise was. Well after work we drove for 45 minutes to his house. When we walked in it was dark all but upstairs. We went into a room down the hall there was two baby cribs all kinds of machines that were beeping and making noises. My boyfriend introduced me to Sonny and Cody who at the time were about 1 year old. They were very very tiny I was afraid to touch them. I asked him where the mom was? He said the kids were in his custody as to some issues the mom had. I fell in love with the twins. Both boys were born at 23 weeks gestation and had cerebral palsy. When they were born they weighed 4 ounces each so a pound together. They could fit in the palm of your hand. Sonny was the worst he was expected to make it. The doctors called them to the hospital in the night time and said they didn't give Sonny but a few hours and they wanted them to say there goodbyes. his breathing was shallow and not getting better. Well dad went in took his shIrt off and layed Sonny on his chest over his heart and prayed to God. They had to leave the hospital and the doctors said they would call them. Well about 4am the phone rang dad dreaded to answer the phone it was the hospital he thought it was the news he didn't want to hear. The doctor on the other end said I don't know what just happened but Sonny has made it thru the night and prognosis was good. I can't believe I'm doing this but I have to do what I can. Both twins are now 10 years old we are in need of a van we have to drive 45 minutes sometimes more to go to the children's hospital in Kansas City Mo. We make about 5 trips a month sometimes more. Are van the only vehicle we have is having major transmission problems. I took it to a mechanic he said its on its last leg. He told us not to drive it out of town but we have to go to the appointments for the twinS as they depend on these doctors still. I am always the one to be helping others and this is so hard me I'm actually tearing up writing this. We need your help please. My boyfriend was a truck driver but had to stop driving because I was having some medical issues. I'm not allowed to be alone because I have seizures. Thank you for reading this.
