After the baby is delivered, parents are ecstatic, and when the doctors finally figure out why, everyone stops talking

A miracle like no other: Parents overjoyed after their baby’s birth, but what doctors discovered left everyone speechless.  She had a broad smile which was caused by a rare illness. Now look what this baby looks like after several years.

Confusion and dismay immediately overshadowed the young couple’s anxiously anticipated daughter’s arrival. The doctors couldn’t understand the little girl who was born smiling all the time. Her mother also revealed a devastating reality when they fully understood what had transpired.

Ayla Summer Mucha’s parents were ecstatic when their baby was born. They knew she was unique as soon as they saw her, but they were unaware that the broad smile she had displayed to welcome them was caused by a rare illness.

On December 30, 2021, Australian couple Cristina Vercher and Blaize Mucha welcomed their baby into the world. However, they discovered during the C-section that their daughter Ayla had bilateral macrostomia, a condition in which her mouth had not developed normally.This unusual disease, known as a facial cleft, occurs when the corners of the mouth do not fuse together during pregnancy. Only 14 examples of this abnormality have been reported in medical literature, making it incredibly uncommon, according to the National Library of Medicine.

There were no anomalies found in Vercher’s ultrasound examination, which indicated that her pregnancy was normal.
The problem was “obvious” because the infant “was so tiny,” so when the new parents looked at her, they knew something wasn’t right. They were very concerned about this.“Neither Blaize nor I knew about this condition, and I had never met someone who was born with macrostomia,” Vercher remarked. “Therefore, it was quite shocking.”

The doctors and parents were unprepared to deal with a newborn who had bilateral macrostomia.
Because it took many hours for a doctor to respond, this made the situation much more frightening. More challenges followed since the hospital was unaware of or unsupportive of such an uncommon condition, the mother said, adding, “As a mother, all I could think about was where I went wrong.”

Vercher grappled with the idea that her baby’s disability was caused by whatever she did wrong throughout her pregnancy. “As a mother, all I could think about was where I might have messed up,” she admitted.

After a battery of tests and scans, the doctors reassured the mother that neither she nor her husband were responsible for the problem and that it was completely out of their hands.
