December is TTTS (Twin to Twin Transfusion Syndrome) Awareness Month. Sisters Andie and Annabelle have overcome a lot in their short 7 months of life. Surviving TTTS and undergoing laser surgery prior to their birth, they are true fighters and a testimony to all families facing the condition. Overcoming TTTS is a huge milestone for twins and parents. If diagnosed with this disease, it is important to seek specialized doctors and get tested weekly. For more information, please visit the TTTS FAQ.

Such tiny babies, to have endured so much already…I hope they have smooth sailing after such a rough start. They’re adorable!

What cuties! My boys had TTTS also. It’s so scary. Glad to hear these little ones have fought hard and are doing well!
