Stephanie at 7 |
carving the new

We met Stephanie when she was born
during a surgical trip in the island of Cyprus.
She was born without ears. This condition is called
microtia and it presents in one of every
10,000 births. We brought Stephanie to Nashville
at age 7 to begin a series of 3 surgeries to rebuild
her ears. You can view the video clips from her
visits below:
