Last October my daughter Lisa La Penna found out that she was having twins. Her doctor scheduled her for an ultrasound on Thursday, October 4th. (at 15th weeks)

During the ultrasound, the tech found that Lisa's twins had Twin to Twin Transfusion Syndrome.

Her doctor, Dr. Goldaper told my daughter that the twins had a 10% chance to survive. We were devastated.

The doctor gave us several options, but the best was to go to Tampa Florida to see Dr Quintero.

On the next Thursday, October 12th, my daughter was in laser surgery with Dr Quintero. The staff at Tampa General Hospital were wonderful.

The next four months were like a roller coaster ride, with different problems coming up during weekly ultrasounds.

But finally at 35 weeks (02/19/07) Lisa's two beautiful girls were born alive and kicking. I can not thank Dr Quintero at Tampa General enough for saving my granddaughter's lives.

And for Dr. Goldaper at Medical Center of Arlington in Arlington Texas for directing us there.
