Miranda wasn’t ready to return to normal life, like she hadn’t just birthed and buried two babies in the span of a week. She wasn’t ready to say goodbye.3:22 PM CDT October 12, 2023AUSTIN, Texas — Miranda Michel’s eyes popped open on the operating table, panic gripping her body. Was she too late?
Or maybe — maybe it would all work out. For the last eight months, she’d fought to keep hope at bay, forcing herself to focus on the finality of the diagnosis. But now, she couldn’t resist giving in. Miracles happen every day. Doctors can be wrong.As doctors prepared to remove the twins from her uterus, Miranda fought to stay awake long enough to find out whether she was going to get to meet her children. But it was no use. Her vision faded to black.
But then, in June 2022, Roe v. Wade was overturned and abortion became a crime in Texas, except to save the life of the pregnant patient. Doctors were terrified to even talk about the options, leaving Miranda alone with this decision. Early in her pregnancy, Miranda looked forward to these appointments. She spent time online, researching surgeries, experimental treatments, miracle stories. She got an MRI, met with specialists, had her doctors look at the pregnancy from every angle.“I had hope. I fought for them,” Miranda said. “I tried not believing what were saying. And now, I have no other options.”“When I go and do the ultrasound, I’m still going to get bad news,” she said ahead of her 29-week appointment, in late July.
“I’ve never been away from my kids,” she said. “Are they gonna miss them or they’re gonna forget about me? I’m going to be at the hospital and they’re gonna think I ran away, even though I told them where I’m at.”Miranda never made it to the Ronald McDonald House. In early August, at 31 weeks along, her body decided it was time to end this pregnancy. She was home in New Boston, so she’d have to be airlifted to Dallas.
From the shoulders up, the twins looked normal, although premature. They were tucked into each other, almost kissing, their hands tangled in a tender embrace that belies the horrors below.
