Superman


When I first photographed this little guy, he was a newborn and I knew him as Israel. Now, he's become known as Superman and has touched thousands of people. He got his nickname after defying all odds. At five months old, he stopped breathing in his crib during a nap. Paramedics couldn't find a pulse for 30 minutes. He was rushed to Hershey Medical Center where his parents were told he'd spend his life in a hospital bed on a breathing tube, if he even survived. They've faced setbacks and it hasn't been easy, but Izzy continues to amaze doctors. With braces on his legs, he was able to stand during his one year session! His will and strength is incredible and you can see from the sweet picture below, his parents adore him :)
