This… Posted by Lakshmi Kumari on Sunday, February 5, 2012 Despite her unusual appearance, Supatra grew up the same as most other children her age. She loves swimming, dancing to her favorite music and spending time with her friends. Supatra dreams of becoming a doctor. She wants to help sick and injured people. But the little girls’ future didn’t always look bright. When she was born, she had to undergo two surgeries just to be able to breathe. Her father Sammrueng, 38, says: “We found out Supatra’s condition when she was born – we didn’t know before.” Bronek Kaminski/Barcroft Media/Getty Images At first, Supatra found it difficult to breathe as her nostrils were only a millimeter apart. For her first three months she was kept in an incubator to enable her survival. In total she spent 10 months in the hospital. “We were very worried about her,” says Papa Sammrueng. As Supatra grew, so did her hair. Her mother cut it regularly for her. Today, at 19, Supatra is healthy and happy.
