Miracles Can Happen: Post Op Day 2

Post Op Day 2

Bryce has had a great day. He is a totally different kid compared to yesterday. He had his arm resting above his head today ( something he couldn't do before SDR). Bryce also wiggled his toes when asked to do so. It was amazing to see! He ate like a champ as well. Overall a pretty great day.

Tomorrow is the day that the catheter and epidural will be removed and he will have to get up and moving. He will have two PT sessions. One at 8:30am at the bedside. They will show us how to handle Bryce - how to pick him up and change positions. The second PT session will be at 1pm on another floor. We are both exited and very nervous but ready for this next step.

Please keep Bryce in your thoughts and prayers. I am sure tomorrow will be very tough on him. Thanks again for all the support you have shown!

From the beginning...

On January 5, 2009 we found out we were having twins!!! We were so excited and never dreamed that we would have any problems getting them here. All we could think about was how special it would be to bring two little ones into this world at one time.

It was a few weeks later that we found out there were issues with the pregnancy. It appeared that the twins had Twin to Twin Transfusion Syndrome (TTTS), but after several tests it was found that there was a growth discordance in the twins. Baby A (Cohen) had more placental share that Baby B (Bryce). After finding this out I was put on full bed rest at home. We had ultrasounds every other week to check the babies growth. It was a constant worry whether the babies would make it.

At 20 weeks I would be admitted into Good Sam Hospital with pre-term labor complications. Those complications would turn into cervical length problems and from there a one night stay turned into 54 days of trying not to go absolutely insane. Each week we would have a new scare. I became very ill with blood poisoning and there was a fear that the infection got to the babies, luckily it did not. I also had daily contractions, some days more than others and began dialating. I developed gestational diabetes, only after passing the glucose test a week before.

At 28 weeks (and one day) real labor set in and I gave birth to two very small but very beautiful boys - Cohen Matthew and Bryce Anthony. This is their story...
