For Natalia....

This is a video tribute for my daughter Natalia, and to each and every one of you who have reached out to her and our family through this amazing journey. Natalia was born with a birthmark on her face. After a long and emotional search, we finally found a "Pediatric Reconstructive Specialist" who was able to treat her. With this type of birthmark, laser therapy would lighten the color, but would not reduce the risk of it turning cancerous. After careful consideration, it was decided that the skin needed to be removed all together. The surgeon would insert special expansion balloons around the exterior of the birth mark as well as some in her neck. The balloons would be expanded each week until there would be enough extra skin to remove the entire birthmark and graft in the new skin. The doctor anticipates 3 to 4 surgeries, over about 12 weeks to complete the process.

Natalia had a biopsy last year to insure that there was no abnormal growth. Her specialist has continued to check her consistently to monitor the skin until her body was big enough to begin the surgery process. We expect the first surgery to begin in the next few months.

Thank you to all those who have worked behind the scenes to make this miracle possible, to the doctors and staff who so lovingly care for so many, our daughter included. Rarely do those who give so much see the faces of the families whose lives are forever changed by their kindness and contribution. With all my heart, I thank you.........
