•Iraqi Dad Takes Baby to U.S. for Surgery
The severely ill Iraqi baby taken to U.S. Marines at Abu Ghraib prison (search) by her father and then flown to the United States survived a third surgery on her heart and is doing well, her doctors said.

Baby Tabby, who just turned 1, suffered from life-threatening blood tumors called hemangiomas (search) that caused her face to be deformed and excessively swollen. FOX News has been following her story exclusively.

The benign grapefruit-sized tumors were removed in two separate successful operations and Tabby went through a third surgery last week to repair a hole in her heart.

A team of cardiac specialists at the Medical University of South Carolina (search), led by pediatric cardiologist Dr. Jeremy Ringewald, stepped in to perform the heart surgery. Doctors first implanted a balloon to measure the size of the hole in Tabby’s heart, then replaced it with a device designed to close the hole as her heart grows.

The procedure went as planned, and Tabby’s prognosis was excellent. She has one final surgery to remove superficial hemangiomas from her mouth before she can return home to Iraq with her father.

“It actually looks great,” said Ringewald. “I’m really pleased.”

And My Opinion:
She will return home, only to be killed in some sort of war, after going through all this suffering.Pray she doesn't.......
 
I think the odds are rather remote that she will be killed via the war. Post war fallout like poor water and disrupted medical supplies are more likely.

Your right! Or like some car bombing or something. Either way wish her the best.
 
Still... I'd rather be in the middle of a war in the mideast than in your typical middle African village/city. The AIDS, the cholera, civil wars, military dictatorships, famine, genocide... ugh

No, the sad part is that if the war wasn't happening, she's never have made it to the states to have that surgery. Everyone seems to forget that part.
 
Thats true as well. Without the war and the massive 'friendly liberator' PR effort by the militarty, she would have most likely ended up not being helped at all.
