54-year-old woman gives birth to her grandchild.Tracey
Thompson from North Texas has given birth to her own granddaughter after
serving as a surrogate for her daughter, Kelley McKissack, 28.
The 54-year-old delivered a 6-pound 11-ounce girl at The
Medical Center of Plano. Doctors at the hospital say McKissack and her husband,
Aaron McKissack, had undergone multiple infertility treatments only to suffer
three miscarriages.
According to a hospital statement released on Thursday, the
Wylie, Texas, couple had four fertilized embryos left, so Tracey Thompson
offered to be a surrogate, despite being seven years past menopause. The
embryos were implanted in Thompson's womb last April.
The McKissacks named the child Kelcey, a combination of the
mother's and grandmother's namGrandmother and child are doing well.
