Crazy cool baby surgeons

Now this is just cool stuff. Can you imagine being told that your otherwise healthy unborn baby has a grapefruit sized tumor on her tail bone that is now robbing her of vital blood and nutrients? How horrible! Now imagine a surgery where they basically do a c-section, pull the uterus out, take the baby out just enough to operate and remove the tumor, then put the baby back, the uterus back and close up the womb. Incredible!

The baby was carried for another 10 weeks and then delivered. After a month in the hospital the baby is going home healthy.

Amazing stuff. Praise God for giving surgeons the talent and the guts to try something like this.
