Anna's progress over time

This is our beautiful daughter Anna who was born 25th January 2000 with a condition called "PHACE" Syndrome. The medical definition of this condition can be found on this site.
Anna is a very brave little girl who spent most of her early life in hospital for numerous reasons. The main one being open heart surgery for severe mitral stenosis and once again you can find information on this on the following pages.
Part of Anna's condition is a very extensive haemangioma (vascular birthmark) which is on the inside and outside of Anna's body. These birthmarks grow until the child is approximately six months, sometimes longer (Anna's grew until she was eight months old) and then they start to slowly regress. Anna has so far had two laserings on her birthmark which have helped immensely.
Our aim is to try to give Anna the best possible start in life and for this to happen she will need plastic surgery.
We have done extensive research and with the help of another mother whom we met at the hospital have contacted a Dr Waner from America who specialises in operating on vascular birthmarks. (Details of Dr Waner can be found on site.)
After a very long wait of nearly two years we saw Dr Waner for the first time in New York City at the beginning of 2004. Dr Waner operated on Anna on our second trip to New York in April 2004 in an attempt to start the process of her looking more "normal". We want her spared, as much as possible, of the adverse reaction of the public.
We now need to start to raise funds to pay for Anna's surgery. We have set up "Anna Hogben's Fund" to help Anna and any other children like her.

Anna has now had four operations, you can see pictures and detail on Anna's Operations page.
