Guest guest Posted October 11, 2007 Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 We planned on having it done with the twins I delivered 5 months ago. The research I did and people I talked to said that it doesn't treat liver disease right now but who knows what the furture holds, you know. We had the kits and everything but there wasn't enough cord blood. That happens with mutliple gestations though and they started as triplets.
