Guest guest Posted February 9, 2008 Report Share Posted February 9, 2008 This is the most amazing thing I have seen. It brought tears to my eyes. Gods Blessings Please read before viewing picture - it's worth it! A 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 US paper which published it, you probably would never have seen it. The picture is that of a 21-week-old unborn baby named Armas, who is being operated on by surgeon named ph Bruner. The baby was diagnosed with spina bifida and would not survive if removed from his mother's womb. Little 's mother, 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 , 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.' The text explaining the picture begins, 'The tiny hand of 21-week- old fetus Armas emerges from the mother's uterus to grasp the finger of Dr. ph Bruner as if thanking the doctor for the gift of life.' Little '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.' was born in perfect health, the operation 100 percent successful. Now see the actual picture, and it is awesome...incredibl e....and hey, pass it on. The world needs to see this one! Who's never won?
