BABY BORN WITHOUT FACE

Blaylock, Jennifer (2004) “Florida Family has baby born without face” USA TODAY, 12/15

Tom father of a new baby was worried when told that his wife was stable, but that he could not see the new baby. The little girl did not have a face. Both parents soon knew that their little girl would need help. She will get at least 30 more operations to create a face for her and she is now being fed by tubes to her stomach.

Little Juliana is missing about 40 % of her face and wears a hair piece. She also has a tracheal tube to breath.

Doctors now have a mold for her head and they will continue to shape the face into human like features.

She is going to be 2 years old.
