| Kevin, the thing is, with this girl, it goes far beyond appearance. She is going to need extensive surgeries just to get to the point of being able to function -
she has tubes where her nasal passages are supposed to be to keep that airway open so that it doesn't grow shut
she needs to have major modifications to her both her upper and lower jaw before she can even get to where she can eat, or speak
She has to wear hearing aids to be able to hear
She only has one good eye, and recently they had a scare that she was going to lose that one
But, they did show some footage of this girl playing on a drum, and banging away on a toy piano, and this just one day after a major reconstructive surgery on her skull.
Well, look at Helen Keller - blind and deaf, no one ever thought she would be able to amount to anything - all jokes aside, her life was an incredible example of maximizing and being thankful for what you have, and overcoming obstacles, regardless of what others might think.
