As she grew, so did the hernia, which ended up covering most of her left eye, and impacted her ability to sleep, breathe and play.
After years of raising money and saving, and with the help of the Children First Foundation, it was decided that Angel be brought to Adelaide for life-changing surgery.
In a four hour surgery the hernia was removed from Angel’s face and a bone graft was out in to seal the opening in her skull to prevent it returning.
Angel has since celebrated her fifth birthday, and while there are more surgeries in her furture to re-shape her nose, she couldn’t be a happier little girl!
