Our daughter Sydney had hemangiomas on both sides of her face, on her back and neck, most of her right leg, and internally as well.
We put a video together in hopes that it would raise awareness of hemangiomas and available treatments.
Our daughter Sydney's story speaks to the absolute necessity of early intervention and I think the photo montage attached makes a compelling argument for immediate early action when treating vascular anomalies.
Thousands of babies are afflicted with this condition and very few doctors know what to do.

Dr. Milton Waner is an extraordinary doctor. Our daughter was born with a large lip hemangioma that was growing very fast. The doctors in our area did not want to do anything, but put her on steroids. Steroids have so many negative side effects, but we still tried. The hemangioma still grew. Once we saw Dr. Waner, he immediately said it needs to come off. From that day on we started our journey and have ended up in the best place possible. Not only did she have a hemangioma on her lip, but inside her chin. He has performed two surgeries and two injections to help her. She looks perfect. He and his staff work so hard to help these children who are born with these unexplained abnormalities. Dr. Waner is truly there for the child and nothing else. He is the best thing that has happened to our family and gave our daughter a normal life back!
