Once-Disfigured Girl Attends Prom After 18 Surgeries

Cody Hall was born with a hemangioma, a tumorous birthmark that distorted the shape of her face and grew larger as she got older.


When she was 1-year-old, 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.

America is still the last, brightest-shining hope for so many.

I baby sat for a little girl who had a hemangioma right next to her nose that went all the way to her eye and part of her left nostril.  SHe was a beautiful little girl and a joy to watch.  She had begun treatment when I started watching her and they claimed that by the time she was in kindergarten it should be gone.  I would love to see her again, she would be about 13 years old right now.  She was a little less than two when I started watching her.
