so so sad. actually showed her face on tv. hard to believe its real!!

kinda can see it

I saw this in the paper the other day... not nice at all. Hopefully with the marvels of plastic surgery, something can be done for her as she grows.

Your face, my ass.

or u one of those types that like to get they booty licked??

:cool: thats hot.

I have never, never seen anything like that before, and I'm startled and saddened.

Is that an x-ray of her face?

looks like an mri or CAT scan.

poor kid.

Oh, in case many of you didnt know, old HDC member and current Scared Yet .net forum member Vampire Queen recently had a little girl, so congradulate heer :D

what vod said. i guess it would mean more if i actually knew biology or whatever but ya u can see its all fucked up

neway. on the show they actually had her on there. said shes one of the worst cases ever seen.

really really sad. cant even explain it........ u can look it up on yahoo but her pic isnt there. but ya, hers is much worsde than any of the pics i saw on there..

i don think she had any bones in her nose so she had something in her nostrils, i think its something to help her breath, cuz i guess nothing is holding anything up. the rest of her face just looks like skin. her eyes are ALLL fucked up.

Ok, I KNOW this is fucked up, but...Anyone else think the first pic looks like something that HR Giger threw together??

That's horrible :(

What, the face? the situation the family is in?

or...what I said?
'Cos, yknow...I didn't mean for it to offend anyone, I feel it WAS a valid observation, no?

...
 

The disease, that poor girl...

Well yeah...
I'm not sure if it's discomforting, to be honest, I didn't read the whole article, it doesn't LOOK too comfortable, but then again, if you were born that way, it can only be uphill from there?

As for the looking like your face danced with a brick part, that just straight up sucks...

wow thats really unfortunate, aside from growing up looking like that, which I'm sure all of us can agree would not be a good time. The physical complications seem like the worst of it. Think how many actions required to sustain life you do through your face, then remove 30-40% of your face. The article said she had to be fed through her stomach. man that shit sucks

yep. maybe now as she is younger she wont notice

i was watching some plastic surgery show, a ilttle girl had a growth on her ear tha kept gettin bigger and bgiger. the mother was saying she ewanted to give her surgery becuz she would watch her daughter and she noticed the thing on her ear. would always try to cover it up, putting her hair over it, noticing none of the other kids had one like that

surgery is expensive not to mention fuckin painful. especially for kids cuz they have no clue whats goin on. theres always complications too.

not only physically but its pretty fucked up psychologically as well. shes gonna be in and out of the hospital for a good part of her young life. too bad they didnt show her face but shit. she really didnt look human at all. her eyes wer all messed up, no nose, and her mouth too.

the sad thing is too. im sure there would be peopel that would make fun of this sort of thign!
