Now 2-year-old Jessi Campbell from Australia was diagnosed with lymphatic dysplasia before she was born, a condition in which the lymph vessels form abnormally and doctors thought would be easily treatable.
However, during the birth she almost died from complications and in fact Amara’s mother lost so much blood that it took three days to recover.

The little girl was then diagnosed with Kippel-Trelauney syndrome, which creates varicose veins and hypertrophy in one limb. Thus, her entire left arm looks as if it is swollen, from the shoulder to the fingers, the Mirror reported in a related article.
“Her tumor was bigger than we expected,” Jonathan’s father said, with the child’s mother adding, “We were in shock. We were not only afraid for her health, but also for the effects it would have on her life, even the social ones.”
Problems and treatment
As soon as the little one got a little older, she started undergoing sclerotherapy, where a solution is injected into the veins to shrink the cyst until it disappears completely. At the same time, he is undergoing hydrotherapy, physiotherapy and occupational therapy.
The doctors estimate that the cyst will shrink by the time she goes to school, but her parents are very worried, especially since she is facing physical and social problems.
“She can’t walk properly because the weight of the cyst is pressing on her spine. Not long ago, she was crying because of the unbearable pains,” said her mother.
He also noted that the arm’s weight changes almost daily due to the movement of the fluid, causing it to sometimes inflate or deflate less, which affects Jessi’s movement.
Now the parents follow the treatments and support their daughter, while trying to protect her from mean comments, especially when they go for a walk in the park, as many parents mock their child or call them “disgusting” because of the health problem she is dealing with. .
