Following
picture began circulating in November. It should be "The Picture of the
Year," or perhaps, "Picture of the Decade." It won't be. In fact,
unless you obtained a copy of the U.S.
paper w hich published it, you probably would never have seen it. The
picture is that of a 21-week-old unborn baby named Samuel Alexander
Armas, who is being operated on by surgeon named Joseph Bruner. The baby
was diagnosed with spina bifida and would not survive if removed from
his mother's womb. Little Samuel's mother, Julie Armas, is an obstetrics
nurse in Atlanta. She knew of Dr. Bruner's remarkable surgical
procedure. Practicing at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in
Nashville, he performs these special operations while the baby is still
in the womb. During the procedure, the doctor removes the uterus via
C-section and makes a small incision to operate on the baby. As Dr.
Bruner completed the surgery on Samuel, the little guy reached his tiny,
but fully developed hand through the incision and firmly grasped the
surgeon's finger. Dr. Bruner was reported as saying that when his finger
was grasped, it was the most emotional moment of his life, and that for
an instant during the procedure he was just frozen, totally immobile.
The photograph captures this amazing event with perfect clarity. The
editors titled the picture, "Hand of Hope. Little Samuel's mother said
they "wept for days" when they saw the picture. She said, "The photo
reminds us pregnancy isn't about disability or an illness, it's about a
little person" Samuel was born in perfect health, the operation 100
percent successful. Now see the actual picture, and it is
awesome...incredible....and hey, pass it on! The world needs to see this
one!
