Fetus emerges from Mom's womb to grasp Doctor’s finger – “Thanks for the gift of life!” 21-week-old unborn baby Samuel Alexander Armas 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. 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.

Seb Creane Shane Clancy He looks like a normal happy guy - makes you wonder how people can snap. I remember the mourners wore red converse to the Seb's funeral (can't find a picture of it though) Have to mention the recent Donegal crash - worst collision in Irish history.
