Surgery changed the life of a girl with cerebral hemorrhage

Four years ago, Angel – or Precy, as she is also known – was born in a public hospital in the Philippines.

Angel’s mother always knew that other children would be scared of her daughter. She had seen people stare. To protect their daughter, Cypres Salon and her husband, Dale, mostly kept Angel at home to play with her siblings and cousins. But then one day, the inevitable happened.

A four-year-old boy approached Angel while the family were out and shouted at her, “Monster!”

Angel did not flinch. She just patted him on the shoulder and said, “Hi.”

Angel was diagnosed with encephalocele, a brain hernia that occurs when the skull and tissue surrounding the brain doesn’t close in the womb.

“I was so amazed by her response,” Cypres says. “I was so proud of her.”

Four years ago, Angel – or Precy, as she is also known – was born in a public hospital in the Philippines.

Cypres remembers an ominous silence after her fourth child was born. Angel did not cry like her other babies, and she was immediately whisked away to another hospital for treatment.

A doctor explained to Cypres that something was wrong, but it wasn’t until she met her baby five days later that Cypres realised how bad things were.

“When I saw her for the first time, I cried a lot,” Cypres says. “I cried every moment I looked at her and I blamed myself for her condition.”

Angel knew other children were scared of her but she remained open and friendly.

A doctor diagnosed Angel with encephalocele, a brain hernia that occurs when the skull and tissue surrounding the brain doesn’t close up normally in the womb. Doctors don’t know what causes it, but the problem is common in South-East Asia.

These hernias can occur at the front, side or back of the head and, depending on the severity, can include a small or large amount of the baby’s brain, causing damage and functional problems.

When Angel was four months old, her parents raised about $5500 to pay for surgery in the Philippines to make sure the hernia was separated from the brain and sealed off. This would help prevent her brain from spilling into the hernia and causing trouble.

At four months old, Angel had surgery to make sure the hernia was separated from the brain.

The surgery was successful and Angel seemed to develop without brain damage. But the hernia was still covering most of her left eye and squashing her nose, making it harder for her to run freely and play and breathe and sleep like other children. She would often hold the lump up or move it from side to side so she could see, a hindrance when trying to play with both hands. At night, sometimes she couldn’t sleep on her back because it blocked her breathing.

Cypres says Angel knew other children were scared of her but she remained open and friendly.

Cypres and Dale live in Kinoguitan, a small fishing and farming village on the coast. Cypres works for the government on a basic wage and Dale spends most of his time caring for their children. They run a little shop from their home.

Over four hours doctors carefully cut the lesion, which weighed 200 grams, off Angel’s face.

Cypres says they couldn’t afford to pay another $8000 for Angel’s hernia to be removed so she searched the internet for information about her condition to see what more could be done. One day she found a story about a 12-year-old Filipino boy who received a charitable operation in the US.

She fired off emails to the hospital where it was done and they referred her to Interplast, a group of Australian and New Zealand surgeons who donate their work to people needing surgery in the Asia Pacific region. Interplast told Cypres to take Angel to one of their doctors who was visiting a city two hours from where they live. The doctor connected them with the Children First Foundation to see if they could bring Angel to Australia for the procedure.

The group agreed. They paid to fly Angel and her father Dale to Australia, and convinced the craniofacial unit at the Adelaide Women’s and Children’s Hospital to do the procedure in September.

Angel’s parents say they are extremely grateful for the help she has received.

When the pair arrived in August, foundation staff collected them from the airport and took them to their Kilmore farm which is currently caring for 10 other children from countries nearby. The foundation provided them with warm clothes, and welcomed them into their house, which is affectionately known as the “fat farm” because children often need high-calorie food to fatten them up for medical treatment.

In September, Angel and her Dad flew to Adelaide for the surgery. They were greeted by an interpreter organised by the foundation to help them through their hospital stay.

Surgeon Walter Flapper and his team scanned Angel’s brain to check that it had been separated from her hernia during the previous operation in the Philippines. It had. This made their operation simpler and less risky.

Over four hours, Flapper and his team carefully cut the lesion, which weighed 200 grams, off Angel’s face. It was full of abnormal brain tissue and fluid that she did not need.

They then used some bone from her hip to seal the hole in her forehead to ensure another hernia does not grow. They pulled the remaining skin together to sew up her face. A scar now runs from her forehead down her nose, flanking both nostrils.

When Angel woke up, she wondered where her eyes had gone, Dale says, because they were covered for the first three or four days. When she eventually saw her face, Angel did not express much surprise but her behaviour told a different story. When she got out of bed, she had nothing obstructing her vision or breathing, so she could run faster and use both hands to bang on the piano without having to hold her face.

Flapper said Angel will need to return to Australia for further work to shape her nose, which has been pushed to one side by the weight of the hernia. A nose reconstruction can happen when she’s grown up, he says, perhaps when she’s a teenager.

After the operation, Angel and Dale returned to the Kilmore farm so she could recover. In late September, they flew home to reunite with the rest of the family who were thrilled to see them.

While Angel still looks different to other children, Cypres and Dale say they are extremely grateful for the help she has received. They feel more optimistic about her future.

When she got home, they were so pleased with her new face, they took her to their local church for the first time. Last week, they threw her a birthday party on November 5 and invited more people than they used to.

“We celebrated it with children in our neighborhood and other relatives,” Cypres says. “She was so happy.

Jaden Smith REVEALS How Diddy Ab3sed Him and Justin Bieber The evolving relationship between P Diddy, Justin Bieber, and Jaden Smith hasgained significant attention, particularly as controversies surrounding Diddy’sinfluence over young stars come to light. Over the years, rumors and accusationshave emerged, shedding light on troubling dynamics between these celebrities,which involve allegations of manipulation, abuse of power, and exposure toinappropriate environments for young artists. P Diddy, one of the most influential figures in the music and entertainment industry,has long been known for mentoring young talents. Justin Bieber, who skyrocketedto fame as a teen sensation, was one of the notable figures under Diddy’s wing.Alongside Jaden Smith, the son of superstar actors Will Smith and Jada PinkettSmith, Bieber was introduced to a world of fame, fortune, and a lifestyle far beyondtheir years. At the time, both Bieber and Jaden were seen as protégés of Diddy, who played asignificant role in shaping their careers. The young artists collaborated on severalprojects, such as the 2010 hit “Never Say Never,” which served as the theme songfor Jaden’s film The Karate Kid. Their friendship was celebrated in the media, withtheir bond growing stronger over the years. However, behind the scenes, therewere darker elements of their relationship with Diddy that remained hidden fromthe public. In a shocking turn of events, Diddy was arrested in 2024 on charges that remainsomewhat unclear. The arrest rocked the entertainment industry, with accusationsranging from sexual misconduct to more severe charges related to trafficking.While Diddy’s legal team vehemently denies the allegations, claiming an unjustprosecution, the news has brought renewed scrutiny on his relationships withyounger stars like Bieber and Jaden. One of the most troubling aspects of the situation is the revelation that Diddyallegedly exposed both Justin Bieber and Jaden Smith to a lifestyle of excess andwild partying when they were still very young. According to Jaden, both he andJustin were introduced to an environment filled with drugs, alcohol, and behaviorthat no one their age should have experienced. In a candid interview, Jadenadmitted that he felt out of place and overwhelmed at these parties, calling intoquestion Diddy’s role as a mentor. Bieber echoed Jaden’s sentiments, saying that while he initially thought he wasliving the dream, the reality of the situation was far more harmful. “Looking back,there were things | experienced that | shouldn’t have been exposed to at that age,”Bieber admitted. His confession has sparked a wave of concern among fans andindustry insiders, many of whom now wonder how many other young stars mayhave been affected by similar behavior. Jaden Smith’s family, especially his parents Will and Jada, were reportedly shockedwhen they learned the full extent of what their son had been exposed to. WillSmith, in a recent interview, expressed his disappointment in Diddy, stating thatthey had trusted him to be a mentor and guide for Jaden, not someone who wouldput him in harm’s way. This public support from such a high-profile family hasadded weight to Jaden’s claims, further intensifying the scrutiny on Diddy and thebroader entertainment industry. One of the key reasons why Bieber and Jaden remained silent for so long wasDiddy’s immense power in the industry. Jaden explained that when you’re youngand trying to build a career, it’s difficult to speak out against someone who has theability to make or break your future. This fear of retaliation kept both him andBieber from revealing the truth about what had happened during those years. The entertainment industry is notorious for its toxic power dynamics, wherepowerful figures like Diddy can manipulate and control young artists who aredesperate to succeed. Bieber and Jaden’s decision to finally speak out highlightsthe significant challenges that many young stars face, often feeling trapped insituations where their careers and well-being are at stake. Over the years, Justin Bieber has been open about his struggles with mental health,often attributing some of his difficulties to the pressures of fame. In recentinterviews, Bieber has started to connect his mental health issues with the toxicenvironment he was exposed to at a young age, particularly during his time underDiddy’s influence. In 2017, Bieber famously canceled several dates of his Purpose World Tour, citinghis need to focus on his mental and emotional well-being. At the time, he told fans,“I want my mind, heart, and soul to be sustainable.” He also revealed that he wasworking through deep-rooted issues, many of which had likely stemmed from hisexperiences as a young star in the industry. Following Diddy’s arrest, Bieber has been more candid about the negative impactthose early years had on his mental health. His admission that he was exposed tothings that made him uncomfortable at such a young age sheds new light on thechallenges he faced as he transitioned from a teen idol to an adult artist. While Diddy’s actions are now in the spotlight, the broader issue of how theentertainment industry treats young stars remains a significant concern. Bieber andJaden’s stories are just two examples of how powerful figures can exploitvulnerable young artists for their own gain. The fact that these revelations are onlynow coming to light speaks to the culture of silence and fear that pervades theindustry. In recent years, there has been a growing movement to hold powerful figuresaccountable for their actions, particularly when it comes to the exploitation ofyoung stars. However, as Bieber and Jaden’s experiences show, there is still muchwork to be done to protect the next generation of artists from similar harm. The revelations about P Diddy’s treatment of Justin Bieber and Jaden Smith havesent shockwaves through the entertainment industry. Their stories highlight theneed for greater accountability and protection for young artists who are often atthe mercy of powerful figures. As more details emerge, it’s becoming clear that thisis not just an isolated incident but part of a larger, systemic problem in the industry.Bieber and Jaden’s decision to speak out, even after years of silence, is acourageous step forward in shedding light on the toxic environments that have longbeen hidden behind the glitz and glamour of Hollywood. Their experiences serve asa powerful reminder that change is desperately needed to ensure that futuregenerations of young stars are safe, supported, and protected from exploitation.

Eloп Mυsk Calls for Boycott of ABC Network: “Let’s Take ‘Em Dowп!”

In yet another dramatic twist in the ever-spiraling 2024 political saga, techbillionaire and part-time Twitter disruptor Elon Musk has thrown his weight behind afull-fledged boycott of ABC Network following the recent presidential debate. Aftera polarizing event that left both Donald Trump and Kamala Harris supportersfuming over the moderators’ handling, Musk took to his preferredplatform—formerly known as Twitter, now simply “X”—to declare war on the mediagiant, calling for a nationwide boycott. His message was direct, succinct, and, of course, classic Musk: “ABC’s bias is offthe charts. Let’s take ‘em down. #BoycottABC.” And with that, the gauntlet hadbeen thrown. It all began with the much-anticipated Trump vs. Harris presidential debate, wheretensions were already running high. The moderators, David Muir and Linsey Davis,found themselves fact-checking Donald Trump mid-sentence more times thanMusk fact-checks his engineers at SpaceX. And while Trump took offense at beinginterrupted, Harris, on the other hand, was criticized for receiving what many onthe right considered “softball” questions. The result? Chaos on stage and an onlinefrenzy once the event ended. Supporters of both candidates took to social media to accuse ABC of being biasedin favor of the other side. Trump fans slammed the network for “rigging” the debatein Harris’s favor, while Harris’s supporters accused ABC of not pressing Trump hardenough on his claims. It was a political mess, but for Elon Musk, it was more thanjust bad moderation—it was a call to action. “ABC’s coverage is as outdated as gas-powered cars,” Musk tweeted. “Time toboycott this biased network. We’re better off with no debates than with thesecircus shows. Let’s take ‘em down.” The tweet, which garnered over 500,000 likes in under an hour, was quicklyfollowed by a hashtag campaign: #BoycottABC. Musk’s legions of fans, rangingfrom crypto enthusiasts to Tesla fanboys, jumped on board, turning the call for aboycott into one of the top trending topics on X. But the tech mogul didn’t stop there. As if leading the digital charge wasn’t enough,Musk went on to suggest alternative ways to hold future debates. “Why not streamthe debates on X?” Musk suggested. “No filters, no biased moderators—juststraight talk. We’ll make it happen, and you can bet there won’t be anyinterruptions when the candidates speak.” Musk’s crusade against ABC is just the latest in his ongoing feud with traditionalmedia. For years, the Tesla and SpaceX CEO has railed against what he sees ascorporate media’s bias and inefficiency. Whether it’s calling out news organizationsfor what he considers unfair coverage of his companies or sparking debates aboutfreedom of speech, Musk has long made it clear that he sees social media anddirect communication as the future of news. And now, Musk has taken things one step further by not just criticizing but activelytrying to take down a media titan. “Mainstream media has had a stranglehold oninformation for too long,” Musk tweeted later in the night. “The people deservebetter. We deserve unbiased coverage, not corporate manipulation.” As you might expect, his followers took up the charge with enthusiasm, with manyproclaiming that they were canceling their ABC subscriptions, deleting the app, andeven suggesting an all-out ban of Disney+ (ABC’s parent company). “I’m done withthem,” tweeted one Musk devotee. “Elon is right. They’re a relic of the past. Timefor the people to take control of the conversation.” As Musk’s call for a boycott spread across social media, reactions from political andmedia figures were swift. Predictably, conservatives embraced Musk’s message,praising him for “standing up to the corrupt media” and for “taking on theestablishment.” The idea of streaming future debates directly through X was metwith excitement among Trump supporters, who have long argued that traditionalnetworks unfairly favor their opponents. On the other hand, critics were quick to point out Musk’s blatant disregard forjournalistic integrity and fairness. “Elon Musk thinks he can take down a majormedia network because he doesn’t like how a debate was moderated? Please,” onecommentator quipped. “This is just another billionaire trying to control thenarrative.” ABC, of course, was not amused. In a statement released shortly after Musk’stweetstorm, a network spokesperson called Musk’’s boycott call “reckless andbaseless,” arguing that the moderators did their best to keep the debate on trackand factual. “We stand by our moderators and the job they did in providing a fairand balanced debate,” the statement read. “ABC has always been committed tojournalistic integrity and will not be swayed by pressure from outside forces.” Disney, which owns ABC, has remained silent on the matter, though rumors arecirculating that the company’s executives are now considering the PR ramificationsof Musk’s boycott campaign. Never one to pass up an opportunity to go big (or to space), Musk didn’t stop withhis calls for a boycott. In a subsequent series of tweets, Musk floated the idea ofhosting future debates on Mars. “Maybe it’s time we take politics off Earth,” Muskjoked. “Imagine the candidates debating inside a SpaceX Starship on their way tocolonize Mars. No biased moderators—just zero gravity and the future of humanityat stake The internet, of course, exploded with excitement at the mere suggestion, withmemes of Trump and Harris debating in spacesuits quickly taking over socialmedia. While Musk’s Mars debate might be a few years (or centuries) away, hisbroader point was clear: the future of political discourse needs a shake-up, andABC isn’t cutting it. As #BoycottABC continues to trend, it remains to be seen just how far Musk’smovement will go. Will ABC see a noticeable dip in viewership or subscriptions as aresult of his call to arms? Or will the network stand firm, weathering the storm asjust another example of the polarized political landscape? One thing is certain: Elon Musk, with his legions of followers and seemingly endlessenergy, won’t be backing down any time soon. Whether he’s calling for boycotts,streaming debates on X, or floating the idea of zero-gravity political showdowns,Musk has solidified his place as one of the most influential—andunpredictable—figures in modern discourse. As for ABC? They’ll likely keep airing debates for now, but they might want to keepan eye on the skies. With Elon Musk in the picture, you never know when the nextdebate might be streamed live from space.
