I met with my perinatologist and the pediatric cardiologist a couple days ago and they did an ultrasound and fetal echo on the twins. The diagnosis for our twin girl is still the same for Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome and we will be planning to fly down to Seattle to have the twins so she can have her first open heart surgery within a week of being born.
Our little boy twin also has larger kidneys than normal and may possibly need surgery on his kidneys also. They won't know for sure if he will need surgery until I'm closer to my due date. But the good thing is that his surgery and condition are way simpler than our twin girls with a way way better success rate.
I will have another appointment in four weeks and they will look at the babies again and start deciding when I should go down to Seattle. It's going to be a long four weeks for sure.
