So, everything went well yesterday. Turns out after they went in and looked around with the microscope that Shyloh & Tyce still needed to share some arteries and vessels. They were only able to cut off 1 of the 4 arteries that connected them. This is because Shyloh had hardly any of the placenta, therefore he lives off of the supply of blood pumped from Tyce over to Shyloh. So, now that Tyce is NOT being bombarded with blood he will hopefully be pumping more to Shyloh. ;o)
I know this is a lot to read and understand, but overall it is a GREAT thing. The doctor said that every other patient that has had the same semi circular pattern that he has done the same procedure on has been a success. So, that's AWESOME news!!
They did find a small hole in Tyce's heart this morning that they think will fix itself. Lets pray it does. Just a little fun fact... Their hearts are the size of a dime.
SOOOOOOOO Long story short, we aren't cured of TTTS but we have helped the situation so much that it may correct itself ;o)
I was just told that I'll be discharged today, YAY!!! So we'll be home tomorrow afternoon. We will only drive 1/2 way today and then the other 1/2 tomorrow because it's already so late in the afternoon.
Thanks as always for the prayers and support. We still have a ways to go, but we praise God for every day!!!

I'm so happy everything went well! How amazing that their hearts are only dime-sized and soon will be the size of a clenched fist. My thoughts are with you all, twins are wonderful.
