My long-time friend Lauren Palmer is on the show today to share her family’s incredible story. In 2017, she announced her twin pregnancy with her husband Joel. Big sister Caroline and big brother Jennings were thrilled to be welcoming two Christmas blessings to their busy household.

But everything came to a screeching halt when 2.5 year old Jennings was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) when Lauren was 36 weeks pregnant with the twins.

Lauren is sharing the story of a twin pregnancy, Jennings’ diagnosis and fight against cancer, how big sister Caroline saved Jennings’ life, and what life – and Lauren’s faith – is like at this point in their journey.
