Unfortunately, this wasn’t enough because hospital costs had gone up a lot due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The young parents needed $27,000 more for the surgery.
They asked for help on GoFundMe again to cover the extra costs for their daughter’s surgery to remove the birthmark.
The concerned mom explained, “Everyone has things they feel unsure about in their body. The doctor said it wouldn’t affect Vienna’s mental health right now. But we didn’t see it that way. She’s starting school at three, and little kids are clever; they notice things like that.”
Now, Vienna is two years old, and her birthmark has been completely removed. The only sign left is a small scar on her forehead. Casey, her mom, regularly updates on her daughter’s healing process and often comments on how ‘gorgeous’ her baby girl is.
Even after they took away the birthmark, the parents went to London to let the surgeon check how well the small scar on Vienna’s forehead had healed. They wanted to make sure she didn’t need more surgeries or treatments after the three she already had. But right now, she’s a healthy two-year-old and doesn’t need any more medical care!
