Micah and Spencer’s Story

March 3, 2015 By katbiggie Leave a Comment

Melissa was so sweet when she sent me her story. She said that March 5th is the boys birthday, and if I could, it would mean a lot to have their story around that day. Of COURSE I could share it this week! A bittersweet birthday, one here, one in heaven, but we celebrate both […]

January 28, 2015 By katbiggie Leave a Comment

Today we hear from Laura D. who is sharing her TTTS journey with us. Her girls Elena and Diana are double survivors (thankfully!) but they still had a tough journey to make it here alive.

TTTS Double Survivors – Benjamin and JD

TTTS Double survivors

One of the best things about the TTTS Community is the level of support, commitment, and dedication we have to each other. Each time I share a story, we hope to spread awareness, education, and hope. TTTS is a monster. No matter what your outcome, it’s a bitch. Plain and simple. Today Shasta tells about […]

Always my twin…

January 31, 2014 By katbiggie Leave a Comment

Twinless twin

I think one of the hardest elements of losing one of my twins to Twin to Twin Transfusion Syndrome (TTTS) is the fact that I feel so cheated for my survivor. For me, as the mother, I deal with somewhat of an identity crisis. I am a mommy of twins with no twins. I worry […]

November 19, 2013 By katbiggie Leave a Comment

Twin to Twin Transfusion Syndrome

This week Shann tells the story of her boys’ Penn and Cruz and their journey through Twin to Twin Transfusion Syndrome. It’s always strange reading these stories because sometimes they can be so similar. Like when Shann talks about her experience of being on continuous monitoring in the hospital, and how once a nurse had […]
