Deano, glad to see all is well. Scary shit having a wife, girlfriend pregnant. Lots of things can go wrong, but as long as you guys do what you're told by the docs all will be cool.

Hi all,

From the lobby of the hospital.

A major hurdle was jumped today. For those not familiar to TTTS. Basically, one baby(Donor) is getting too much blood supply and starving the other(Recipient) from adequate blood supply. Doctor went in with a laser and diverted some blood to the starving baby. The procedure should start correcting the problem soon. There is however, one more hurdle.

Tomorrow morning is the moment of truth. A couple factors are in play. There is a hole in the embrionic sack, caused by the laser. it usually closes back up on it's own, but sometimes it doesn't. If it doesn't close back up, the sack(s) will burst and Lula will go into labour, and it's obviously too early for that. The babies would not make it. The other problem is the bigger of the two babies' heart is working so hard because he has too much blood to pump, has developed a hardened valve in his heart. Only time will tell if he will make it.

Very nice to come here and see so much support. It is overwhelming. I have never experienced the emotional rollercoaster as I had this morning. I hope you all understand, I am not made of teflon. Yes, I actually have emotions too, and not always the angry kind either!

Thank You again, to all of you. It is such a elief to know people care.

-Dean

That's a wee bit nerve racking. We understand if you're a little "on edge" right now. Good luck with everything though...we're all here for y'all. :-)

by **Deb** » Fri Apr 20, 2007 7:09 am

You can pretend all you want that you're this big bad tough guy, but those of us that have met ya, know in reality you're just one big teddy bear. :lol:

Give Lu all our support, and prayers for you both that things go well tomorrow and beyond.

by **Clasicrockldy** » Fri Apr 20, 2007 7:10 am

Thanks for the update, Dean. Still sending good thoughts and prayers for the twins and Lula's recovery.

Good to hear things are going well. I will pray that things will continue to improve.

by **Granny** » Fri Apr 20, 2007 7:18 am

Dean, like Deb said, those of us that know you, know how sweet and wonderful and just how emotional you can get and what a big heart you have...You know Norm and I love you and Lula and are sending more prayers by the hour.
You are going through what is probably the worst time of your life, but all will be well in the end..After all, they are your babies and they will be tough and strong. Send Lula our love and give her a big hug from all of us.
