Doctors: Baby Noor is doing great

Baby Noor was discovered several weeks ago by U.S. troops from Georgia's 48th Infantry Brigade while raiding a house in Abu Ghraib. The soldiers noticed paralysis in the baby's legs and what appeared to be a tumor on her back.

The apparent tumor was actually the fluid-filled sac, which contained part of the baby's spinal cord. Doctors said she likely would have died without medical intervention.

One of the soldiers e-mailed a friend in Georgia who is a social worker. They enlisted the help of a variety of organizations, and Noor, her grandmother and her father were brought to the United States late last month. Source: CNN.com

If you’re wondering why I’ve quoted news here, it’s because there was a line that grabbed my attention.

It just took one soldier’s thoughtful e-mail to set this rare incident of kindness rolling. The hospital bestowed their services for free. The doctors did the surgery for free. It was because of that one man whose name we might never know. Thank you and God bless, soldier. :-)
