Surgery to Save our Twin Babies & *emotional* Post-Op Update | TTTS Surgery and TAPS

After weeks of flirting with Twin-Twin Transfusion Syndrome (TTTS) symptoms, it is time to have fetoscopic surgery to save our twins. Today we continue the emotional journey of our Mo/Di identical twins. Unfortunately, the post-op appointments continue to bring challenges for our girls. Thanks for the love and prayers during these difficult times.

I found out I was pregnant with identical twin girls when I was 40 years old. They also developed TTTS and I was immediately sent to Cincinnati, Ohio. Your story is sooooo similar to mine. Bladder issues, kidney issues, one was swimming in a pool and the other was in saran wrap essentially. I had the same procedure with 2 liters of fluid drained off. I was monitored extremely closely. With lung, and heart meds to give them the best possible outcome. C-section was scheduled at 32 weeks. They were born at 2lbs 15oz and 3lbs. They were in the NICU for almost exactly a month and discharged. Not a single significant health issue...just need to grow. We now have 2 very happy healthy just turned 9 year olds in September. YOU GOT THIS MAMA!

[@susanmcmillan3575]

You never have to apologize for anything Lauren! Your whole family is going through so much right now. Just know, we will always be here for you! Even if it is a short video because you need to unload your feelings somehow! I will be praying and hoping for God to work his magic. Until then, spend lots of time with the boys, Mark and family and get lots of rest! We will be here when you come back. Much love to all of you.

[@sondrakolling5746]

My church moms group is praying for you and your family. I had a friend who's twins also developed TAPS after TTTS surgery. They were told the same thing by the doctors in Denver. Her boys are now 7 years old and living happy healthy lives. I hope this gives you comfort and hope.

I used to work NICU as a respiratory therapist. I’ve helped deliver and grow 22-24 weekers. It’s a long journey but lots of them have grown up and are now absolutely thriving!!! Be encouraged. Lean on your medical staff. You got this momma. ❤❤❤

[@lynnethorman2067]

Me as well and I totally agree with you

[@roxannepietras105]

I couldn't agree more. My son was born at 26 weeks a whopping 2 lbs 3 ozs 39 yrs ago. I can't imagine the improvements since then. He's happily married with two girls of his own. Margaret 2 1/2 and Ruth born three weeks ago. He a healthy loving man.

[@rebeccaradbourne5651]

My cousins daughter was born at 28 weeks after waters going from 24 weeks no success at stopping them she was 2lb 14. Shes now nearly 6ft and 18. Medical Miracles happened back then never mind now ❤

[@maaritmissonen8195]

My sister had her baby girl at 25+0 and she is now almost 7m old ❤

[@belindafirley]

I was born at 25 weeks in the early 1980’s at 1 pound ten and a quarter ounces and or 745 grams. I have had open heart surgery when I was 4 weeks old as one of the valves didn’t close properly. I have grown up and I am happily married to my beautiful Hubby and we have two precious boys of our own. Our Heavenly Father is so good. I do have a few chronic illnesses (endometriosis and chronic kidney disease) which we only found out when I was pregnant (at age 30) as I had Gestational Diabetes (and we are so very thankful that Dr sent me to a Renal Specialist soon after we had our son as he wanted to get some results checked out) with our first precious son who is now 10. God is a God of miracles. He knows our needs before we do. I have an amazing team of Dr’s and Specialists who take great care of me and I have had many great Dr’s and Specialists who also cared for me so many years ago when I was born so very unwell.

[@kathywittmer547]

My great granddaughters were momo ttts twins. My granddaughter had the laser surgery by the surgeon who created the procedure here in Florida. Believe me when I tell you that miracles DO happen. They are 4 years old now and bundles of energy and joy. Keep your faith in our Father in heaven.

Thank you Jesus for hearing our prayers and blessing these little girls along with their parents and siblings….please Lord lift them up and help us to know how precious these girls are and to know that you are with them, in Jesus name!❤

I am a nurse and knew that the surgery, while really scary, would give your girls the best chance. Complications arise but stay strong and trust in the Lord. God is good!

[@lynnebrown-hardy1566]

I continue to pray for your sweet babies, you, mark, and the boys. I worked in a high risk labor and delivery for almost 20 years. I have seen so many babies make it despite terrible prognosis and not only survive but thrive. Babies weighing less than a pound, babies who had one diagnosis in utero but come out with little to no issues. God is with you and carrying you through. ❤

[@terrymack5624]

Thank you @lynnebrown-hardy1566--that is such a lovely message for all of us learning and continuing to pray for these wonderful babies and this sweet family. God's blessings to you. ❤

She had so many people and churches praying for her. She's doing good. Never forget, God is in control. I've been praying for your girls, and I paused the video to pray again.

[@tealeaflist]

It appears to happen often enough that you don't really want to go Bothering Our Lord & Savior... *WHAAT? DO NOT BELABOR A MONOCHGORIONIC PAIR.* quit Crying about TAPS. Deliver them via *CS*. ONLY. IDGAF what the Midwives say... in case everything goes better than well here, NEVER EXCEED 36/6 with MONOCHORIONIC TWINS. It can Destroy them... Their shared placenta is Stressed Out. It does Not Live That Long. TAPS Erythrocyte Exchange will begin to ABATE coincident with THIRD TRIMESTER. in WEEK 26...

You’re so strong and He gave you this cross because He knows you will carry it beautifully. Miracles DO happen. Our family will continue to pray for you each day. Much love and hugs to you, fellow TTTS twin Mama ❤

[@julieangell9566]

I am sending hugs and prayers. My TTTS warriors just entered their freshman year of high school and are exceptionally healthy girls. Our surgery was at 18 weeks and we delivered at 31 weeks. They were born healthy and just needed to grow before leaving the NICU. I pray your girls follow the same path. Our girls are year-round soccer players. Sometimes as I watch them, I flash back to the fear we felt at the time of our diagnosis. It seems surreal when I think of that time period. Praying your surgery went well and that your pregnancy continues uneventfully.

[@tealeaflist]

Hi Julie!

[@sallyethridge1393]

Lauren, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

[@9eyeswideopen]

I know exactly how you’re feeling I was carrying triplets, but in the end only one survived. He truly is a miracle we were told not to get our hopes up, because there was no way he would survive but I couldn’t give up while he was fighting. The mix of emotions when I was being told at least I had one survived all I can remember thinking why are people so cruel? All these babies were precious even more, so because I could never carry another baby to give a sibling to my son, who wanted nothing more. Take all the time you need and give yourself grace. This is your journey and only yours and never give up hope because sometimes against all the odds a miracle can happen and I only hope you also have your miracle like mine💞

[@annaleecline7579]

Oh Lauren, I am so sorry to hear this news, usually I am a silent watcher but this is heavy on my heart. I'm crying my eyes out here, I'm hoping for a miracle as well for these baby girls, wishing upon stARS, and all the things. I fell in love with you and your family about 2 years ago, feels like we are friemds/family. I am 45 years old I could never have kids. im living in Ohio. Oh gosh honey I'm just rambling now, but PRAYERS FOR YOU, THE GIRL, AND THE REST OF THE FAMILY. I LOVE YOU ALL!!!

[@que-stead-que1717]

Like you, I’ve been a silent watcher since the video about the gender reveal came up in my suggested to watch video section. I clicked and immediately subscribed to this channel. I’m 59 and was also unable to have children. I root for others struggling, or having complications. I prayed for every family member on this channel as well as for the Doctors, staff, and everyone involved.

[@que-stead-que1717]

I prayed for you, the baby girls, your family, extended family and Luna as well. She’s being a good support kitty. I have chronic illness and a year ago a kitty showed up in my back yard. I didn’t even like cats and did everything to get rid of him. He kept returning and once Winter arrived I decided to feed and shelter him. I named him Mule Lee due to his stubbornness and fell in love. Well, needless to say Mule Lee is still here as Winter approaches again. He has been a wonderful companion. He’s my profile picture sitting in my garden table. I’m rambling, but by seeing the love and support from Luna made me share in hopes of brightening your day during this difficult time. I will continue to pray for you all.

[@janw408]

So many people are praying for you and thinking about you. You take care of yourself Lauren. God’s got you! ❤

[@madcitywendy]

Oh Lauren and Mark - I am just weeping. You are two of the most beautiful human beings I have ever “known”. I am adding my prayers to God. May these babies grow and thrive and be born safe and healthy (even if they come early). Please God, May it be so. Please God, protect this family in these difficult times. Please pay special attention to these beautiful brothers! How hard for them - to be away from their wonderful mother and father! God bless these baby girls.

Things don’t always make sense. BUT, His ways are higher. Love you sister.

As a mother of twins my prayers are with you.❤

[@aslbasturk7338]

As Mother of twin girls I remember How difficult was my pregnancy without complications. At that time my doctors told me I was very Lucky. Now I understand how accurate they were. I am so sorry you and your family has to go through these difficulties. And hope that your little Girls get through these weeks safely. ❤❤❤

Being pregnant with twins is enough stress on your body. We have 2 sets of twins in our family, each of the Mom's went through a myriad of problems. All arrived on the small side, but healthy. I will keep you and your family in my prayers. To you, Lauren, I send you love and blessings.

I am praying for Mark, you, and the girls. My cousins were born at 24 weeks and were very tiny. They are now beautiful 16 year old girls. So miracles do happen.

Hugs from 🇨🇦 Lauren It took so much strength to share this, let alone edit and upload. Having to share details with family privately is difficult enough. I've been there Lauren and during that time any intervention often resulted in loss. Our medical capabilities have excelled over the years. It's no consultation living it in the moment. We are here and with you ❤️ Hoping for the best outcome for you and the girls. Please take this time with family and be kind to yourself through this journey. We aren't ever given more than we can bare despite the way it seems.❤

PRAYING HARD for you!!! ❤ His strength is made perfect in our weakness. He is carrying you through this, as you REST in Him. Sending you love and so many prayers! ❤

Oh Mama. I'm going to tell you the same thing a nurse told me before going in for emergency C-section at 31 weeks - you put all those negative thoughts aside and send nothing but positive thoughts and love to your babies. They weighed 2 lb 14 oz and 3 lb 3 oz. Baby B was in cardiac arrest. She now has her bachelor's in nursing. So you hold on to the love and let go of the fear. Nothing has happened yet. Do not mourn in advance and be robbed of the joy of the two lives inside you.

This is a roller coaster that you would’ve liked to have gotten off, but so glad you stayed in Denver at the last min! I’m praying for you and your family night and day, you are doing all you can do, that is all God asks us for. You’ve got this sweetie ♥️♥️

[@susanhansen4453]

Continued and continuous prayers & HUGS to you all!! ❤️❤️

[@melaniet6367]

I’m so sorry that this happening, praying that these baby girls are just as strong as their amazing mama ( and it seems like they are)

[@samgeorge191]

Stay strong guys - everyone is praying 🙏 and thinking of you all ❤🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@luckycharm9565]

Continued prayers for you both, your sweet babies and your boys. You’ve got this Mama and God has you and your babies. In my high risk pregnancy, my Mfm told me “let’s get you to 24 weeks, then 28 weeks then everything past 32 weeks is a bonus”. First prayer is to get you to viability, you’re so close. I’d pray for you to have peace but honestly I know too well that just won’t come until they’re safely in your arms. God bless you all ❤

[@birdoyes5980nancy]

You don't have to apologize for nothing, with here for you❤, everything 🙏 going to be ok 🙏🙏 with your babies.

[@Amelia-hp5ue]

Praying all the way from North Carolina! You and these babies are in gods hands and miracles happen every day! You take all the time you need with your family!🩷

[@kristinemastin9395]

Lauren you are never alone as a old saying “ that you are a ray of sunshine “

[@debbiewalker6212]

Don’t try to carry this alone. Sit back and God will carry you and the twins! I was on bed rest in the hospital for almost two months. My son was born weighing four pounds. He had sone difficult days at first but he is now a college graduate and will soon be 43 years old! By God’s wonderful grace he thrived and never had any further problems. I will continue to lift you and the girls up in prayer. May God give you all the comfort you need. Hugs!

[@carmenriveramartinez9875]

Lauren, I am so sorry that you and your family are going through this. Praying for all of you and especially for the girls. May God touch the babies with healing and give you the peace of knowing that God is with you. Please care for yourself and stay calm as you can. Sending prayers and good vibes your way.
