patholagy report

I finally emailed the office that did my surgery to see if they could give me the report on their study of my placeta, I always just assumed there were connections that were missed, this is the email I got in reply:

Hi Mishael,

I have a copy of your pathology report and would be happy to mail it to you. The main reason we ask for placentas is to see if there are open connections, via air injection and see if there are any open connections—which in your case would demonstrate where the issue was that contributed to the reversed TTTS. However, no open connections were found. Triplet A was found to have 30% of the placenta, Triplet B 40% and Triplet C 30%. No obvious reason by inspecting the placenta why things worked out the way they did. If you want a copy of the report—just let me know where to mail it to…

I feel sick, I feel that I need answers ASAP, I wish I hadnt been so out of it and had them do autopsies. If the surgery did its job and my girls still had TTTS issues is there something they or at least I dont know about TTTS? Im feeling lost

    I am sorry, Mishael. Sometimes the answers that are not not answers are worse than not knowing.

    You know when they do autopsies, they don't always find answers either.

    ((hugs)) I'm so sorry, it's so hard not to know why things happened. My membranes ruptured at 26 weeks with my Isaiah, and I had him at 28.6 weeks. They did every test in the book and could never find out why things went wrong. I know having a preemie and almost 3 months in the hospital is not anywhere near as tragic as losing two precious babies and cannot even imagine going through that, but I do understand that feeling of frustration and helplessness when they can't find a reason and therefore no way of knowing if it would happen again or if I could have prevented it. Prayers for you through this time, and I just wanted to encourage you to lean on God. He has the answers even if He hasn't chosen to make them known to us yet. You will know someday. ((Hugs))
