Twin babies survived TTTS

I was 14 weeks when I found out I was having twins. Come to find out, we had a problem. Twin to twin transfusion is this rare disease that hit our family. We had to go out of state to have surgery to sever the extra veins and arteries that connected them (one baby basically sucks the life out of the other). A very long 24 hours after the surgery....... Bed rest for 3 months and here we are... Two, I said TWO healthy babies! I could get much more detailed and it is an awesome story, just give me the chance. When I knew what was going on, I went on-line to seek answers. I didn't see much hope for my situation. This is truly a miracle story. Maybe I can give hope to others! Sincerely, Cindy Lawless
