SHE’LL SOON BEGIN PRE-SCHOOL! Baby with brain tumour recovers after Pope Francis kissed her
In 2015, a one-year-old baby girl who had been diagnosed with a brain tumour didn’t know that she would receive her miraculous healing after a kiss from Pope Francis.
However. when Pope Francis kissed baby Gianna Masciantonio in 2015, some saw it as an encouraging sign.
Doctors had not expected that she would make it to her first birthday, but she overcame the odds — and days after her birthday, Pope Francis kissed her head, Yahoo News quotes CBS Philadelphia as having reported.

It was reported that Gianna had histiocytosis, a rare condition that made it impossible for her to have surgery to remove the tumour.
The blood disorder caused lesions on her brain stem, reports said.
Gianna was treated with chemotherapy, and CBS Philadelphia reports that now, Gianna is in good health and will begin pre-school this year.
To commemorate Gianna’s recovery, her parents, Joey and Kristen Masciantonio, donated $50,000 to the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, where Gianna was treated.

They made the donation in the name of the foundation they started, For the Love of Grace.
Grace is Gianna’s middle name, and the foundation is dedicated to helping children with brain tumours and histiocytosis.
