What an awful week! We went to Toronto on Wed., Feb 11 for our appointments. We met first with the Special Pregnancy Unit at Mt. Sinai Hospital. I'm afraid their prognosis is not good for Twin B and they sure could use some serious lessons in compassion for patients being given bad news! I was quite a mess when we left there. But, I pulled myself back together while Chris had some lunch and then headed off to my MRI at Sick Kids. I hope I never have to do that again!! I was in the tube for 1 hour and 20 minutes. What a nightmare. The babies hated it and went crazy everytime they were doing their pictures which of course made it that much harder for me. We met with Dr. Drake afterwards but he didn't have a full report yet so we headed home with very little info and what we did have was very upsetting.
I called Nancy at Dr. Tomc's the next morning and he took us in right away and we talked things through with him just to be sure we fully understood what was going on. Boy, could the doctors in Toronto learn a thing or two from the two them! I'd give anything to have him by my side throughout the rest of this!!
I have decided to go ahead with the amnio to rule out any chromosome abnormalities. At least once that test is done, Chris & I can try to decide what our next step will be.
Twin A weighs 3 lbs. 1 oz and Twin B weighs 3 lbs. 7 oz.
