Dannielynn May Need Surgery!

Larry Birkhead Dannielynneyesurgery.jpg

Anna Nicole Smith's daughter with Larry Birkhead, Dannielynn, wears an eye patch to help treat "strabismus, which is a turning in one of her eyes." Larry tells Entertainment Tonight that the condition - common in only 5% of children - may require surgery. "But after having lost Anna and [her son] Daniel and my dad," says Birkhead, "it's just tough for me to think about surgeries with [Dannielynn]."

Think Larry's becoming a good father now?



Or not so much?

Awww, she's so beautiful too. Yeah if Anna were alive this poor baby would have been a drug addict too. When your kids grow up seeing you get high they do it too.

It's a minor surgery. My brother had it when he was little and he was fine! I wish everyone would stop making such a huge deal about it.

Oh, yeah, Larry's becoming a GREAT father -- the way he pimps the kid for the pap-assault!

This kid's going to be totally FUCKED up. The story 16 years from now will be how she puts a gun to his head and gives him his just reward!!!

I think he is doing a great job. He is giving her a better life than Anna Nicole could have ever given her.

Considering the video of Anna while pregnant, Larry should be relieved this is something that can be fixed. He is lucky she does not have mental retardation from all the drugs her mother took.

I had to have that surgery when I was 2, myself. They completey take your eye out of the socket. Mine turned out perfectly, and that was 26 yrs ago!

Must he call E.T or US about everything - he pimps that kid out like theres no tommorrow ... God only knows how much cash he's made off her - I would respect him more if he just go on with it & stopped courting the press about everything!

dannielyn has GEORGOUS blue eyes,

she reminds me of that actress anna clumsky from that movie My girl.

I think he "pimps" her out as you call it because he feels the need to prove that he's a good dad and loves his child. Howard K. Stern and Anna dragged him over the coals! He obviously has a relationship with particular shows and feels comfortable sharing her in that way.

She's going to be fine. He's being cautious just like any good parent. She certainly is a pretty little thing. I hope he makes sure she gets a good education and learns to be kind.



Posted by: Dannielynn will be fine!

i'm 19 and i had this surgery at 3 yrs old and you can't tell one bit. i'm as pretty as a peach now.

My daughter was 9 months when she had surgery on her eye. She was fine. Better to do it now than wait until she is older.

I think he is trying to be a good dad. But calling Et and Insider for every little thing is kind of ruining his good dad image.

I have strabismus in both my eyes and my doctor said surgery could have made me go blind, so I have to wear bifocules (glasses). I doubt she will need surgery as I have it and they told me I couldn't have surgery!

You're so right.

he might as well put it out there before the world finds out and spins it every which way, including loose.

you know shedoes resemble the My Girl actres



Posted by: Anonymous

there are millions, zillions even, of ppl out there that have this done every year and she'll be fine. it' VERY COMMON. and she only seems to have it in one eye "Kate".

My niece has the same thing and we were told that the surgery is purely cosmetic to straighten the eye. It doesn't correct the vision problems.

Larry is a scumbag using her daughter to make money.

Need money? No problem. Call Entertainment Tonight to shoot a video of Dannielynn and sell her photos to OK magazine. Daddy never needs to get a job no more.



Posted by: people act stupid, then they die

I should hope he has some concern for this child who is his moneymaker. Oh wow, what a great father, making money off his little baby's pics and exposes'! No wonder Anna didn't want him near her. I wish all the best for that unfortunate child. Maybe John Edawards, the psychic, could get involved and tell him what ANNA wants for her daughter.

it took him that long to realize she was crossed-eyed?? Some father



Posted by: Joe

I bet he keeps her in a play pen with a mobile hanging over it. That is the #1 cause of this. The baby's eyes need to adjust to various distances and if they have a mobile, won't adjust properly.

My son had surgery for strabismus when he was 10 months old. They do NOT remove the eyeball from the socket; they do align the eyes so that they will track together and then make adjustments to the interior and exterior muscles to hold them in place. It is most likely cosmetic but that's a good thing as it will prevent the eye from drifting. Whether or not she develops vision problems will not be a result of the surgery and will be corrected with glasses or contacts. No big deal. This is often a genetic trait as it has been for 3 generations in my family.

2 of my sons have Strabissmus, and the surgury DOES NOT correct life-long eye problems. Both my boys have NO DEPT-PERSEPTION, and the youngest is legally blind without glasses. trabissmus is serious but she can still live a long, happy life She will have to be watch more carefully, though, because of the lack f dept-percption. I've lost count of how many times my boys have walked into walls, fell off ledges, you name it, because they can't tell how far away anything is. Matter-of-fact, my oldest son (17) got hit by a truck crossing the street because he couldn't tell how far away it was!! Thank God, he's okay But it drills home just How serious this disorder can be. So Larry needs to love her, and keep a watch over her.

Oh please, Larry is a great dad. This will all be sorted out in private between he, Dannielynn, and her doctor. Leave Larry alone. He's been through enough. The way he is holding her is fine. Gee-whiz.

Larry must be a great dad because Dannielynn looks so happy in every pic i see of her she has a huge smile & if he was a bad father she would look unhappy she's not!!!
