Sleepless an heartbroken in L&D

Surgery was considered a "success". The docs believed they found and separated all the connecting vessels between the girls, but on exam, Baby B had only about 5% of the placenta while Baby A had 95%.
Yesterday morning, on ultrasound, we were all shocked and thrilled to find both babies holding their own. In fact, Baby B's dopplers and flow to her brain looked better. We cried happy tears as the doc left and the tech continued to take measurements. Suddenly, he told me to get into my left side and ran out for the doctor. After some tense, silent minutes, the doctor simply said "I'm sorry". I couldn't fathom it. No one could. But Baby B slipped away right there on the screen.
In the afternoon, we were to have a repeat ultrasound to check baby A and then anticipating discharge. The doc came in, was quiet. I couldn't bear to look at the screen. Baby A's heart rate had dropped to 100. When the doctor came back in 2 hours, our baby A was gone, too.
Which brings us to now. I am wide awake in this God-forsaken hospital bed, waiting to deliver my sweet, sweet babies who were so full of life just 24 hours ago.
I'm over asking for prayers. I feel completely forsaken, which may be why we need them the most. But I wanted to give an update and release some of this sadness (what an inadequate word).
Thank you all for your support for the short time I was a MoM. I wish you all the best.
