Please read all before viewing the picture-it is so worth it.
A picture began circulating in November, it should be the picture of the year, or perhaps the picture of the decade but its not! In fact, unless you obtained a copy of this US paper from the publisher you probably would have never seen it.
The picture is that of a 21-week-old unborn baby named Samuel Alexander Armas who is being operated on by surgeon Joseph Bruner.
The baby was diagnosed with spina bifida and would not survive if removed from his mother's womb.
Julie Armas is an obstetrics nurse in Atlanta, Ga. and she knew of Dr. Bruner's remarkable ability. 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 Dr. Bruner'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 photogrpah captures this amazing event with perfect clarity. The editors titled the picture 'Hand of Hope.' Text explaining the picture begins 'The Tiny Hand of 21-week-old fetus Samuel Alexander Armas emerges from the mother's uterus to grasp the finger of Dr. Joseph Bruner as if thanking the doctor for the gift of life.
Little Samuel's mother said they wept for days when they saw the picture. The photo reminds us pregnancy isn't about disability or illness, its about a little person. Samuel was born in perfect health. The operation was a 100% success.
Now see the actual picture and it is awesome....incredible...and pass it on. THE WORLD NEEDS TO SEE THIS ONE.
