Mother abandons baby boy who born without eyeballs; pictures of munchkin will melt your heart!
A heart-wrenching story has come to light from Russia where a baby boy born without eyeballs has been abandoned by his mother.
Now, he has been in desperate need of a home after his mother left him. As per the reports, the munchkin named Alexander K also knows as Sasha, who has been suffering from a rare condition that only three babies in the world have.
As per doctors, Sasha will never be able to see. However, he is very healthy and fit. However, Alexander’s young mother, who was raised in an orphanage, had decided to leave her child as she was not confident about providing all the help.
Meanwhile, the six-month baby is being looked after by a nurse. She said, “he is just like any other child.”
“He is no different from other children, he plays and smiles just like any healthy baby. He loves playing and adores swimming. He is a very cheerful baby indeed," said the nurse.
Sasha has also born with two benign cysts on his forehead, which will be removed soon. Doctors have described him as ‘unique’ because babies born with such conditions are rare in the world.
As per the Russian medic, the six-month-old baby suffers from an extreme form of SOX2 anophthalmia syndrome. “Sasha (Alexander) is going through all regular check-ups and tests like any other baby of his age. He is doing well,” said doctor Tatiana Rudnikovich.
Recently, Alexander was taken to St. Petersburg by his carer nurse, where surgeons implanted tiny eye orbs to ensure his face is not deformed.
