World #TTTS Awareness Day

December 7, 2017 By katbiggie Leave a Comment

I’ve got a lot of sentiments and emotions about this. I’m feeling guilty that I haven’t been advocating as hard or frequently lately for TTTS awareness. It is the primary reason, after all, that I started this blog. That, and to survive the grief of losing one of our daughters because of Twin to Twin […]

Understanding TTTS

understanding TTTS

Today is my daughters’ 4th birthday. Sweet Tiny and Kathryn. But Kathryn is not here to share the day with us. Because my girls had stage 4 TTTS. Kathryn developed severe hydrops caused by TTTS, and developed heart and lung problems. She lived for two days, but could never be stabilized. Understanding TTTS December is […]

When the Unexpected Happens {TTTS}

September 28, 2015 By katbiggie Leave a Comment

I was cleaning out my email and I came across a trail of emails I sent out to friends and family, starting on September 29, 2011. We had just received our TTTS diagnosis. I wanted to post this email here. As I read over it, I realized one of my prayers (I’m sure more than […]

June 2, 2015 By katbiggie Leave a Comment

TTTS Support Team

In 2011 a group of parents of identical twins started banding together, united in the grief over the death of their child(ren) due to Twin to Twin Transfusion Syndrome – TTTS.

Kathryn and Tiny’s Twin to Twin Transfusion Story

May 13, 2015 By katbiggie 15 Comments

TTTS Twinless Twin

It’s been awhile since I’ve shared about Twin To Twin Transfusion Syndrome (TTTS) on my blog. Since that’s why it all began, it seems only right to share periodically. Additionally, the TTTS Support Team is trying to raise some funding for some projects, and I’d like to highlight their efforts. (More on them at the […]

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 […]

Cameron and Cole {TTTS Tuesday}

January 20, 2015 By katbiggie Leave a Comment

Jodie and I connected through the TTTS Survivors with Guardian Angels group.  Someone asked me one time what that means. It means we have one twin that survived, and one twin that is the surviving twins guardian angel. Just like Kathryn is to Tiny, Cole is to Cameron. Jodie’s angel baby, Cole, also the recipient, […]

January 18, 2015 By katbiggie Leave a Comment
