Dad takes over the blog-update on the surgery

So I don't know this blog thing very well but in Kecia's absence I thought I'd give it a shot. I just talked to the doctor and the laser surgery went as good as could be expected. He identified all the vascular points and zapped them with the laser and told me that she no longer has TTTS and that the livelihood of the babies are no longer dependent on each other, meaning that they no longer will transfer nutrients back and forth but both get their nutrients from the placenta on their own. We are so glad that everything went well! We are definitely not out of the woods but this is a huge step to keep the babies alive and inside the womb as long as possible. It is amazing that this is even possible because as recent as 5 -10 years ago these babies would have not had any options available to survive. What a miracle!

The doctor decided not to do the cerclage at this point due to Kecia's anatomy and it being difficult to get access to it but said we would take another look tomorrow and evaluate whether or not we will pursue it further. It is more preventative and he felt that it wasn't worth the risks right now.

While he was in there he got a couple fun pictures of the babies with his scope. Since I don't know how to edit the photos, the first 2 pics are Baby B's hand and foot and the 3rd one is Baby A's mouth.

Thank you all from the bottom of our hearts for taking time out of your schedules to join us in prayer on behalf of our family and these two babies. We are grateful for the hand of the Lord in our lives and have felt your love and support. The doctor told us that we all need to say a simple prayer for tomorrow and that is that we will see 2 heartbeats and that her cervix will not have opened anymore. We love you all! Thx
