Located almost 100 miles away from her OBGYN and her support system, the couple suddenly found themselves alone in the University of Tennessee Medical Center in Knoxville, where they were told that one of the twins' amniotic sacs had ruptured. “They said, ‘It looks like you’re going to be here with us for a while, we’d like to get you to 34 weeks,’” she said in an interview with Today.
However, that was just the beginning of the couple's story, because her husband received a call a few weeks later letting him know that his father had suffered a massive stroke, and he was needed back at home, which is where he went. All of this happened when the couple was at their most vulnerable, so far from home, and scared about what was going to happen with their babies. However, the pair said they found an unlikely source of comfort in the nurses and doctors at the medical center. “The staff treated us like family,” the husband recalled.
