May 5th
We did not get the news we were hoping to get at the Perinatologist appointment. Baby A had about the same amount of fluid, but Baby B had much less. Not a good sign. The doctor was pretty sure that the babies were suffering from Twin to Twin Transfusion Syndrome, and he was referring us to specialists for treatment.
The specialists he recommended were in Philadelphia and Cincinnati. We thought we lived in a pretty medically progressive area with Duke and UNC nearby so we were very surprised to hear that we would have to travel for treatment.
The folks at the Fetal Care Center at Cincinnati Children's Hospital contacted me Monday afternoon, and said that we needed to be in Cincinnati for testing starting early Wednesday morning. Things were moving very quickly!
