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!
