  • I disliked this because there is so much inacurrate information. I love the footage of the surgery and love the family featured but I don't like some of the things the news station had to say that were not true. I also think they downplayed how horrible TTTS really is. and I think people need to know what TTTS is and how awful it is. Yes laser surgery is wonderful but it is not always a CURE and i dont want the world to think you can have surgery and be cured... it doesnt work that way.

  • Sooo great! I had this procedure done at 19 weeks in Cincinnati, and am thrilled to say we have beautiful 16 month twin girls - happy, healthy, and true miracles!

  • AMAZING! I adopted my boys who had TTTS and never could fully understand what it meant. This helps and makes me even more thankful for the miracles they are!

  • this is amazing! i had 2 laser ablations done! the 1st was 24 1/2 weeks second was 25 1/2 weeks! this was done at cincinnati ohio childrens hospital! without out this my girls would not be here today!
