Forest Grauel's Homepage

This is a picture which was taken of Aileen and I with my "Marvelous Mom,"Evelyn Mary Emma Poole Grauel. She turned Ninety Two this past October and is still able to live on her own in the beautiful home built by the hands of my father, George H. Grauel, back in the early sixties. We live right next to Mom and it is a true joy to be able to share these precious moments with her and to check in on her at various times during the day just to be sure everything is OK. The big smile of my lovely wife Aileen is very sincere because she has so much enjoyed helping make it possible for Mom to enjoy the privacy and dignity of living independently and on you own. A special thanks to my friend Scott Meenen who used his electronic camera to make this picture possible (look, Ma, no film!)

This is one of the most amazing and miraculous pictures which has come out of modern medicine. Baby Samuel (before) Link to his story and picture of him After  Click here for the full Story including Pictures of Baby Samuel "AFTER!"

Dr.Joseph Bruner, Director of Fetal Diagnosis and Treatment at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville, Tennessee, was performing surgery on a 21-week-old baby, Samuel Armas, to alleviate the effects of spina bifida, while the child was still in his mother’s womb.
    When Dr. Bruner had made the incision for this extraordinary operation, baby Samuel reached his tiny hand out of the uterus and clutched Dr. Bruner’s middle finger as if to thank the surgeon for his healing care.

    Photographer Michael Clancy captured the moment in one of the most remarkable and heart-warming pictures we will ever see!
