Hydrops fetalis caused by TTTS

July 29, 2014 By katbiggie Leave a Comment

If you have found this page because one of your twins has been diagnosed with hydrops fetalis caused by TTTS, I am very sorry. The prognosis is bleak. However, it is not over and there are cases in which laser surgery has reversed the hydrops. So, do your research, be informed, seek more opinions if […]

Her Gift…

July 8, 2014 By katbiggie Leave a Comment

I am constantly searching for news about TTTS that I can share with you all. While this is an incredibly sad story, it demonstrates the commitment that TTTS parents have to helping others who are in this journey, and in our commitment to finding answers. Maybe even a cure one day. This story touched me […]

International Bereaved Mother’s Day 2014

May 1, 2014 By katbiggie Leave a Comment

International Bereaved Mother's Day

I feel quiet and still this week. The air feels like it is made of thick jelly, and I’m struggling to breathe. Each step takes effort. The last few weeks have exhausted me, drained me, made me proud, made me happy, made me sad. While we accomplished something wonderful through our efforts for the March […]

Battling TTTS in Australia?

March 25, 2014 By katbiggie Leave a Comment

Yesterday I came across an article about Kasey-Rae Chambers and her twin daughters Hallie, left, and Harlow. Kasey-Ray was diagnosed stage 3 at 16 weeks, and she and her girls underwent fetoscopic laser surgery. The surgery was successful, and although the twins were born at 28 weeks and spent two months in Neonatal intensive care […]

There is good news: a new report just released this week indicates that most twins who undergo fetoscopic laser surgery for TTTS will have normal neurodevelopment by the age of two.
