PLEASE PRAY IMMEDIATELY:
Prayer Request
Please pray that God would continue to form these tiny babies and especially pray that we make it to 28 weeks with this pregnancy. For the health and development of all the kids we really need to make it to 28 weeks which is May 4. Allen and Courtney Tipping are from Fountain Inn, South Carolina and are currently expecting sextuplets. After being married for a couple of years in Columbia, Courtney and I began to pursue starting a family. During this process we found out that Courtney has PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome) and were unable to ovulate. Our doctors put her on medicine to decrease the cysts and increase her chances of ovulation. After a year of being unsuccessful, August 2008 we began our first round of hormone therapy (follistim) with no avail. In October with we went for our second round of hormones and the help of IUI (Intrauterine Insemination) we conceived. Because of the fertility help that we had, we were expecting twins or possibly triplets, but never in our wildest dreams did we think we would have 6. On Saturday March 7th, Courtney started have pre-term labor pains and Allen took her to the hospital per the doctors request, and sure enough she was in pre-term labor. Courtney was dilated to 5cm so they had to give her medication and IV's to slow the labor. Courtney will not be 28 weeks along until May 4, so please pray all six babies continue to grow in Mommy's tummy for a little while longer. They currently live in Columbia, SC and can use any help anyone can provide. You can go to the following website and sign up to assist in any way.

Then, you can register yourself to help out with some of the following:
1. Food. Allen, Allen's parents, and Courtney's mom are all going to be in Court's room with her. So, they would love something better than cafeteria food. If you don't mind bringing food, please go to the site above and register to bring food on the date and time you can. If you want to take food to the family, go to Palmetto Health Richland and go to the 4th floor, Labor and Delivery. The family will be there.
2. Yard work/House cleaning. We will have extra keys and can meet you at the Tipping's house if you would like to do yard work or house cleaning. You can simply fill out your date on the website. If you want to do either of these on a different day listed, simply email me at kgclements@gmail.com and we will change the day of the week on the site for you.
If you have any questions/concerns with anything concerning the Tippings, please feel free to email me (Kristi) @ kgclements@gmail.com or call me @ 864-979-9665.
We will update you via this blog. Please, please, please pray for Courtney and the babies' health.
