Bradford Baby Update

For those of you who have been praying for the Bradfords, here is the latest update.  Felicia called me yesterday and said she had "good news and bad news".  The good news is that the baby has miraculously unwrapped the cord (both times) from around her neck.  The bad news is that in doing so, she tied it in a knot.  Smart kid, huh?  This is very dangerous, as it restricts and could possibly cut off the oxygen supply to Macie.  They have been doing non-stress tests every other day to check her heart rate and monitor other things (not quite sure exactly what)...I guess she hasn't passed one yet...until yesterday!  So that's a good thing!  The docs have been concerned with her size, saying she was small.  She was measuring in the 12th percentile at the last ultrasound, and they said that the danger is when they drop below the 10th.  Felicia's biggest fear at their 4-D ultrasound was that they would say this had happened.  Well, they measured "little" Macie at 4 lbs, 6 oz at 33 weeks or so.  Alana was only 5 lbs, 6 oz when she was born!  I reassured Felicia that this was good news.  They are just trying to continue waiting things out...letting her cook as long as she can :)  Please continue to keep the family in your prayers.  I will do my best to keep updating everyone.
