When Keri McCartney s daughter was first brought into the world in February 2008, there were no midwives to usher her arrival, no towels to clean her delicate skin, no scissors to sever the umbilical cord, or arms waiting for that first precious cuddle. And for Keri, who was under deep aneasthesia at the time, there were no memories at all.
The only people to witness this little baby s first moments outside the womb were a surgical team at Texas Children s Hospital.
Keri would have to wait another 10 weeks to meet her baby, when on May 8 little Macie Hope McCartney became one of fewer than 20 children who could lay claim to an extraordinary title: the baby who was born twice .
