Holy cow! Her surgeons are miracle workers!
I used to wonder if I could love a baby born with a deformity. However, now that we have a child, I can’t see how anyone could not love a sweet little baby, deformed or not. Although I thank God our little boy is physically normal, I know now that every baby is lovable, no matter what they may look like.

Yes, there is also use for plastic surgeons beside multiple breast-jobs and botox injections for aging millionaire wives.

her doctors in England told her parents that nothing could be done about her condition, so her parents took her to see surgeons in the U.S. Memo to Michael Moore. I was told that socialized medicine in England was so superior to pesky US docs.
