Meet a three-year-old Moroccan boy, Yahya El Jabaly, who was
literally born without face but with a great desire to live a normal
life.
Yahya has no eyes, a hole in the middle of his face where his nose should be and no upper jaw
Yahya
was born deformed, he has no eyes, a hole in the middle of his face
where his nose should be and no upper jaw. Such a deformation was caused
by complications during Yahya’s mother pregnancy period that stopped
the bones in his face from fusing together.
embracing love of his parents helped him to grow into a happy and healthy toddler
However,
embracing love of his parents helped him to grow into a happy and
healthy toddler. After Yahya’s sad story became known on Facebook, a
compassionate woman from Melbourne, Fatima Baraka visited the boy and
helped his parents to contact a talented doctor who was able to correct
the mistake of nature.
“He may not die if we don’t operate on him, but he might if we do.”
And
now there is hope for a little fighter to become an ordinary boy and
live a normal life as the same surgeon who separated Bangladeshi-born
conjoined twins Trishna and Krishna, Tony Holmes, expressed his
willingness to help and operate the boy. Yahya and parents immediately
headed to Melbourne, Australia, to meet Dr. Holmes and after series of
serious tests it was decided that Yahya would undergo surgery in
December.
“I believe that it’s the right of everybody to look human and this kid doesn’t look human.”
Mr
Holmes said, “He may not die if we don’t operate on him, but he might
if we do. I believe that it’s the right of everybody to look human and
this kid doesn’t look human. We’re not experimenting on him, we want to
get a good result.”
Thanks to the progressive medicine there is a
possibility to bring the two sides of his skull together and build him a
nose with his own skin. There is also a chance that the toddler will be
able to speak after the procedure due to his vocal chords remaining
intact. Let’s hope for the best and pray for the boy!
