Seven-year-old's joy as surgeons remove huge birthmark

This is a really neat story. Sometimes practicing medicine would just be so cool. Too bad every story doesn't end like this.

I like 'feel good' news stories.

Wow! That is a remarkable story.

Hits close to home for me. I had the same kind of birthmark on my forehead as a child. Didn't spread like that, though, thank goodness. Was about as big as a quarter. The doctors said it would go away, and when it didn't, my parents decided to have it surgically removed when I was turning four years old and about to start preschool.

I have the scar on my forehead, dead center, and I tell people my brother hit me in the head with an axe when we were kids.

Wonder if you could convince someone you've had a lobotomy...Looks like she'll have some scarring, but I find it amazing she can still see out of that left eye.
