Tumour Baby Born Twice

by Earl Morningstarr

One month old Macie Hope McCartney was found to have a huge tumour attached to her, whilst she grew in her mother’s womb.

The tumour, which was the same size as her and attached to her tailbone, was stealing her blood supply and putting her in mortal danger.

Surgeons decided to carry out a very rare and difficult operation to save the girl’s life. Macie’s mother, Keri McCartney was anaesthetised heavily and her womb was cut open taking great care not to damage the placenta. Macie was then pulled out of the womb and the tumour was safely removed before popping the nipper back inside her mother and sewing her up.

Macie was then born, in the usual manner, ten weeks later.

Dr. Darrell Cass, who performed the surgery reports that after a month in hospital for continued treatment both mother and baby are now fit to go home.
