The tiny hand of 21-week-old Samuel Armas reaches out from
his mother's womb to clasp the surgeon's finger. Samuel was
about to undergo a spine operation designed to save him from
serious brain damage. The surgery was carried out entirely
through the tiny slit visible in the wall of the womb, and
Samuel is believed to be the youngest fetus to undergo such
an operation. At this age, tiny Samuel could still have been
legally aborted, but thank God that this did not happen, and
he was born on December 2, 1999. The above image was taken
by photo-journalist, Michael Clancy, during an operation in
America.

Samuel Armas 21-Week-Old Fetus

A 12/9/99 Message From Samuel's Parents :

Dear Friends and Family,

Samuel arrived on Thursday, Dec. 2 at 6:25 pm at Northside
Hospital weighing 5 lbs 11 oz and 20 1/2 " long. He was born
at 36 weeks but came into the world screaming his head off!
He did not have to spend any time in a neonatal unit and
came home with us on Monday, Dec. 6. After viewing an
ultrasound of his brain, Samuel's neurosurgeon was very
optimistic as he does not have any hydrocephalus and the
brain malformation has resolved. He is moving his legs
very well from the hips and some from the knees. He was
frank breech (folded in half) in the womb and the
orthopedist feels that he has a good chance for walking. He
will begin physical therapy next week in order to work out
some of the stiffness in his legs that was a result of his
being folded in half in the womb. He is also nursing very
well.

Thank you all for your prayers and support. We
are happier than we ever dreamed possible!

Baby Samuel Armas

All our love,

Julie, Alex and Samuel Armas

Samuel Armas At Four Months

After years of trying to have children, Julie and Alex
Armas, were finally pregnant with little Samuel. But in July
[editor - of 1999], received the devastating news that he
had a spinal condition that would probably leave their child
with severe handicaps from birth. Julie searched the
Internet for help and found a website giving details of
pioneering surgery being carried out by a team of
specialists at Vanderbilt University in Nashville.

Though considered high risk, the surgery was successful and
little Samuel arrived December second, about a month before
he was expected! He weighed 5 lbs., 11 ounces, and was 20.5
inches long, and was so healthy that he went go home with
his parents a few days later. Samuel does have some weakness
and motor sensation problems below his knees, and has begun
physical therapy. His physician is optimistic that he will,
in time, be able to walk.
