Holiday reunion for military family separated because of medical issues

This article contains a large amount of pathos as the author describes the struggles the family of six faces due to medical complications. The article shifts from the present to the past, but continues by maintaining a story line to educate the reader on the status of the twins. The mother of the twins is quoted as she explains how she and her husband are never able to be together because of his work in the military while she practically lives in the prenatal intensive care unit with her needy twins. Due to the help of a family friend, a company was alerted as to the situation of the family. Logos is used for a short amount of time as the author explains the medical expenses and the process necessary to fly the infants to Baltimore. Logos is used shortly after to explain the difficulties faced by the twins as they are continually hospitalized. Pathos is used to conclude the article as the mother of the twins tells her older daughter how the family will be able to stay together for a while in Baltimore and might even be able to spend Christmas together under the same roof due to the improvement of the twins.
