Parents who lost baby born with a rare birthmark on liver find joy after welcoming new son

Rebecca Stevenson and her husband Adam's son Leo was born at just 35 weeks on August 2, 2019. The couple was heartbroken when doctors told them their baby boy had a hemangioma - more commonly known as a strawberry birthmark - covering half his liver.
