Surgery
The three options to correct TTTS are: 1.) do nothing, 2.) drain some amniotic fluid, and 3.) operate on the placenta to try and correct the imbalance of blood flow to the girls. We have a great sense of peace that the third option is the best because it increases the chances that both girls will survive and it reduces the chances that they will be born pre-term should they survive the surgery.
The doctor just gave us an update and said that his team can be ready to operate between 10:30 and 11:00. Valerie will be awake but with an epidural. She will be in OSU hospital overnight and should be allowed to go home to bed rest tomorrow.
We’re thinking of you…praying.
Praying all goes well with the surgery procedure.
