Rare medical condition leaves girl black and blue

This little girl suffers from an odd disease that you will more than likely never type a report on. The disease, glomuvenous malformation (GVM), leaves the girl with black and blue bruises all over her body. There are only 60 known cases worldwide. To combat the condition the youngster takes a daily cocktail of 12 pills and has already visited hospital 100 times for tests and check-ups.

The little girl was born with the condition which means that as a baby she had these bruises. Can you imagine visiting the pediatrician when your child looked like this? I feel so bad for the mom in this case, I can imagine the looks and snide remarks she probably received. You can read the entire article about this rare little girl here.
