I would like to take a moment to share with you what I experienced during my preganancy. I want to start off by saying that my husband and I had been trying to conceive for 8 years and thank the Lord I was able to get pregnant with twins through invitro. When I was about 5 months pregnant I met with a Fetal Diagnostic specialist, Dr Al-Malt because of my age (high risk) and also because of carrying twins. During the ultrasound the doctor told me that for some reason Twin A's left eye was not able to be seen. The doctor finally discovered that Twin A had Holoprosencephaly, therefore the baby would not be compatible to life. Sadly to say I delivered the twin girls when I was 32 weeks. Twin A (Angelica) lived only for 20 minutes, that was the most difficult and sad moment of our lives. We were able to hold her for hours and spent time with her to close our book. Angelica did not have a nose and had one eye midline. I couldn't believe at first this was happening to us, but I will tell you Angelica even though her face was not fully developed, she looked like an angel, we didn't care if she was deformed, if she would of lived we would taken care of her and be with her at all times. Angelica was beautiful and we know she is in a better place and someday we will reunite again. On the other hand, my Twin baby B was born healthy at first, but overnight she got Pulmonary Hypertension. The respiratory machine was doing 100% of her breathing. Twin B's name is Tiffany. She was known to be in critical condition. The doctor had told us that everything possible was done and now it was up to God and Tiffany to make a turn around. Prayers from families and friends were heard. Today Tiffany is 3 months and is home with us, she is healthy and doing magnificent. We are very happy to have Tiffany in our lives, but on the other hand we have sorrow and pain for our deceased baby "Angelica", but God has given us the strength to continue and understand things happen for a reason. For those who read this web page I want to tell you that if you've had or have a baby that has HPE don't give up, miracles do happen. Never blame yourself about your baby havng HPE this is something that happens and we do not have control of. I will tell you it is very hard for a parent to accept it, but don't worry God will guide you and comfort you. I hope my web page can be a help for you if you need some comfort. God Bless!
