Stephanie & her Son

"First off, I just want to say thank you for designing a splint to help our babies. My son, 9 months, was born with what the doctor called a "funny" ear. I was told that the only way to fix this "funny" ear was to wait until he was old enough to undergo surgery. Obviously not happy with their answers, I began to do some research of my own. I discovered that what my baby has is called Unilateral Cryptotia, which our doctors were unable to diagnose!! My research eventually led me to you, Amen!!

We began splinting on May 28, 2010.  My son was almost ten months old and had cryptotia in his right ear.  The first photos were taken before splinting on May 27, 2010.
The rest of the photos were taken not long after Sept. 28, 2010.  A total of four months of wearing the splint. Thank you so very much for designing this amazing little miracle!  My family and I are so thankful!"
