My first viral TikTok!

My daughter was born with Goldenhar Syndrome which caused her right ear to be underdeveloped, this is also called Microtia. I made a video of me in an ultrasound room using green screen and posted a text that read “asking the ultrasound tech to make sure there is 10 little fingers and 10 little toes”. I then put on my white lab coat and pretended to be the Doctor handing over the ultrasound pictures with a text that read “everything looks good, see you at the next appointment”. The last part of the video was an image of my daughter’s underdeveloped ear that was taken shortly after birth. In the video, it had a text that read, “F*** we forgot to check for 2 little ears”. It went viral in the first 5 hours of me posting it! Most of the comments were from people in similar situations which led me to believe that microtia was more common than I thought! To this day 7/1/21, it has 2.2 million views and almost 390,000 likes! It was a funny video but we embrace her microtia and love her all the same!! You can check out the video here :)
