Gotta give this kid alotta credit for handling his condition so well. Brave boy to say the least. God willing a solution is found for him.

i have one of those. it's in my left arm but it's a lot smaller. it hurts every day and even more when someone hit's it and i can't turn my wrist like my normal right arm. but i am getting treatments and i am also looked after with care. i am getting another treatment soon so i hope it gets even smaller!!!

I can totally relate to this guy. I have lived with a venous malformation all of my life. Mine is located on the right side of my face; however, after many procedures under the care of Dr. Alejandro Berenstein and Dr. Milton Waner at St. Lukes-Roosevelt Hospital in NYC, the malformation has shrunk extensively. I know, God worked through these doctors and their teams to heal me, and to Him, I give all the glory.

I have a VM just like him on my arm and I don't know how i could handle it on my face. He is so brave and it touches me so much. I'm getting sclerotherapy soon and i really hope he gets the procedures he needs. (:

I hope his dream comes true and people accept him from the inside and not the out

I feel for him because I have the same kind of malformation on my face on the same side as his, right under my eye, but mine is 12 times smaller. Mine causes me pain and migraines very regularly. I can only imagine how painful it is for him every day. I hope that his surgeries go well. Feel better little dude!

[DippinDotzXD]

he's a very sweet boy. I hope all goes well for him. :)
