San Fernando Valley

Chelsey Thomas, the 7-year-old Palmdale girl who can't smile, was released Monday from a Woodland Hills hospital after a second round of facial surgery to correct the disorder.

An earlier procedure was a success and doctors hope she will be smiling by her eighth birthday on June 29.

"She's on the road to a smile," said Krista Hershey of Kaiser Permanente Medical Center.
