Second Opinion

March 4, 2010

After much thought, research and discussion with different people we decided today we would rather have a second opinion about the Twin Twin Transfusion Syndrome. The more I read and see about this, the more I just feel we should be doing something more than just waiting to see what happens. If it is TTTS, to correct the issue, intervention has to be done by the 26th week and it is pushing that window. Plus, our doctor earlier told us it would be better for another set of eyes to look at it. After a brief misunderstanding, he graciously referred us to The Fetal Care Center of Cincinnati. I had already talked to them and the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and based on the symptoms we had, they both suggested being checked further. Since Cincinnati was a short drive in comparison to Philadelphia and they were both very highly rated children's hospitals, we chose to go to Cincinnati. We were set up with an itinerary of appointments for Monday and Tuesday, March 8th and 9th.
