Becky, who is now seven, was born with a tiny red blotch on her forehead which nurses dismissed as a pressure mark.But it soon developed into an angry red stain which spread across half her face within six weeks, threatening her eyesight and preventing her from feeding.
Becky was put straight on a course of intravenous steroids which controlled-the swelling and saved her sight. The first of five laser operations was carried out a few days after the course of drugs was begun.
After 18 months of treatment, the growth was finally eliminated.
The only reminder of Becky's ordeal now is a slight discolouration of the skin and the glasses she wears to correct the sight in her left eye.
