flag Identical twins born at 31 weeks after in-utero surgery for TTTS are now thriving at one year old.

flag Identical twins Graylen and Chaysen are thriving after a successful in-utero surgery at 20 weeks to treat twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS), a life-threatening condition affecting identical twins who share a placenta. flag Their mother, Jessica Proudfoot, underwent fetoscopic laser ablation at Cleveland Clinic Children's Fetal Care Center on July 10, 2024, to balance blood flow between the twins. flag Despite later concerns about umbilical cord tangling leading to a C-section delivery at 31 weeks and six days on September 20, 2024, both babies spent 80 days in the NICU before going home. flag Now one year old, they are developing well, with distinct personalities. flag Their family credits the medical team, especially Dr. Courtney Stephenson, for their expertise and support.
