Parents always try their best to protect their children, and these parents did something special for their daughter. Little Vienna Brookshaw was born to her mom, Celine Casey, in April 2021 in the United Kingdom. When Casey first saw Vienna, she noticed a birthmark on her forehead, between her eyebrows.
The birthmark, called congenital melanocytic nevus (CMN), didn’t affect Vienna’s health, but her mom was worried it might bother her emotionally as she grew up. CMN is a condition where a baby is born with a group of harmless pigment cells, and they could have grown as Vienna got older.
The condition Vienna has is rare, and nobody could predict how much the birthmark would grow as she got older. Her mom, Casey, didn’t want Vienna to go through any challenges because of it as she grew up.
Right away, Casey asked the doctors if there was anything they could do about the birthmark. She was worried that if they didn’t remove it, Vienna might be upset with her parents in the future.
Casey, the caring mom, mentioned, “We enjoy watching her grow on her journey, and we look forward to the day she grows up and can express her own thoughts. We’d love her no matter what, even if we kept the birthmark.”
