DS/DS: Rowan Alex / Riley Shea
Number: 4
Everything was going well with the twins until Week 25 when the doctor noticed that one of the babies looked badly bruised, but he had no idea why. Through the weeks the baby got more bruised and at 33 weeks the doctor decided to risk it and take both babies out. When the bruised baby came out, he was immediately put in a humidity crib and taken to have a blood test. The baby, then named Rowan, was diagnosed with a bad case of Von Willibrans disease. A disease where there arn't enough blood paletes in the skin which means the person bruises easily. However, it was extremely rare to have a baby inside the womb get bruised. VW may seem like it's not that bad but if Rowan's head gets bruised he will immediately pass out and may possibly die. Rowan will have to take pills all his life to make sure his VW doesn't get any worse.
Apart from this little drama both boys, Rowan and Riley, were born on December 2. Riley was born 2.2 pounds and Rowan was born 2.0 pounds. Rowan is slowly losing his bruises and they will soon be able to come home.
