Juliana is missing 30-40% of the bones in her face.

Oh my God. The poor little girl. It doesn't mention a nose, how does she breathe?

Wow. God bless the parents for loving her and not shunning her. Can anything be done about Treacher Collins Syndrome?
To: Ditter
Juliana has to eat through her stomach, and she has a trach to breathe.

Sounds like a couple whose faith is sustaining them. The child is so fortunate to have such loving parents who won't give up on her.
But, oh, this fallen world.....how I look forward to the new one - no longer marred and filled with sin and its effects.
To: AM2000
Bless these parents and their daughter! May God guide the surgeons as they construct this child's face.
To: Ditter
how does she breathe? Trach tube.

We can pray for the parents. The dad certainly appears to be a saint.

I just heard about this. So sad. My aunt has a cleft lip. She is about 80 now. So I am partial to people like this with facial deformities, because they remind me of my aunt.
Just like I am partial to people who have had a stroke and have paralysis, since my grandma had a stroke and was paralyzed on one side. Other people seem to avoid them or shun them because they aren't perfect. I am drawn to them.
People with those defects/affirmities are special to me because they remind me of special people in my family. God bless them all. I hope surgery is able to help that little girl to have enough of a face so that she can eat and breath, and maybe see, someday. She looks like she was perfect, the rest of her body.

I know a family in which the baby was born essentially without a chin. They've been doing surgeries that somehow extend the lower jaw and bone somehow grows there. Eventually she will catch up and be normally formed somewhere around 5 or 6 years old.

"God never gives you more than you can handle. I figure she has a lot to show everyone... to show the world," says Tom. Every life is precious. God bless this girl and her family.
