So, I don't really know how to feel right now. There's a part of me that is sighing relief, but there's the other side that is so scared of the risks of this procedure that I can barely think straight. We meet the criteria by a mile now (amazing what a week can do) and are preparing for a 10:30 surgery tomorrow. I will update when I can. Please, PLEASE keep Eve, Lia, and the doctors in your prayers or whatever it is that you do. I will be staying overnight and they will be doing an u/s about 24 hrs post-procedure. We are praying that Eve has enough of a placental share to sustain her life and that will be determined at that u/s by there either being a heartbeat or not. If all looks well in 4 wks then we are considered out of the woods. Thank you for your continued thoughts and prayers. Please keep them coming. That is one of the things that keeps us going. Thanks.
Danielle :hug: Your whole family will be in my thoughts and I am wishing you the very best in the world! I expect good news from you as soon as possible!!!
I've heard of your doctor and you are in the best of hands -- very well known. Sending you our thoughts.
Our thoughts are with you, Dr. Quintero (Gonzalez-Quintero ?) is amazing, he is very knowledgable and has a great team. Wishing you the best of luck. Is your surgery @ Jackson Memorial?
I will keep you all in my prayers tonight. Rest well and keep a positive attitude, it will help those little miracles! :grouphug:
Thanks so much everyone. I am really, really going to try to go to bed now. Surgery in 12 hours. Yikes. I actually ran into another couple today in the waiting room who traveled from the northern part of the state. She was only a few days ahead of me with twin boys. They just found out last week. Their surgery is at 8:30, right before mine. They will be in my prayers as well.
Many prayers for you, your family and the surgical team tomorrow morning and over the next few days. It is the hardest kind of waiting; I have been there. We were at Stage 3 TTTS and had surgery at 16.5 weeks with Dr. Quintero; this was two days before Thanksgiving 2008. Now 6 weeks later, our girls (Grace and Sadie) are doing beautifully and present normally. Stay calm, deep breaths, you are in the best of hands. Please keep us posted.
