Compassion at Abu Ghraib-Precious Baby Tabby

About a year ago, I saw this beautiful baby on Fox news... there were hemangioma (protruding blood clots) on both sides of her face and neck. The hemangiomas were so large they would eventually cut off her breathing. The hemangiomas are purple and red, with bumps and craters, at least as large as a size 13 men's shoe. This child was not only severely disfigured but facing death. The child's father brought his daughter to Abu Gharaib prison to beg US troops for help. Keep in mind that by going to US troops for help the family faced revenge attacks, since the terrorists in Iraq kill and torture anyone who associates with Coalition troops. So this is a very brave father. Through the help of US soldiers, the child was put in touch with doctors and charity organizations that offered to pay for surgery in the US...at no cost. What an act of love.

Fox News -- Iraqi Dad Takes Baby to U.S. for Surgery

"The Marines put their hearts and souls in this," said Dr. Charles Tripoli, who with his wife is acting as a host family to father and child. "We also want to show our solidarity with the Iraqi people." Tabby's dad had to leave his wife and two other children in Iraq to make the trip. Though he's concerned for their safety, he realizes this is the last chance for his baby girl. "The most important thing for me is my daughter," said the father. "I would sacrifice everything for her."

The Marines first found Baby Tabby at the infamous Abu Ghraib Prison. Despite considerable odds, they were able to get her to the US for treatment. The photos show the dramatic improvement in her face and neck, but doctors also repaired the hole in her heart, and she is now growing and able to play and smile!

The main part of the surgery is finished, and now that she is back home in Iraq, there is still more work to be done to finish removing some small tumors from her face.

UPDATE: FEBRUARY 2005: Baby Tabby went back to Iraq and is doing fine!
