Here's what the National Association of Children's Hospitals wrote about me...

When 7-year old Peter's ear fell off in class, his fellow first graders were surprised.  But for Peter, it was just a typical day.  Diagnosed with Goldenhar Syndrome, a craniofacial birth defect, he was born at 30 weeks weighing only 2 pounds 13 ounces.  Peter's birth defects included a missing left ear, cleft palate, underdeveloped jaw, single-pelvic kidney, c-spine abnormalities, eye dermoids, and hemi-vertebrae.  He had a trach for four years.

Peter is able to have some fun with his prosthetic ear by tricking his doctors into examining it.  More than eight specialists have worked together to perform his many reconstructive surgeries and provide follow-up care, including therapy that is helping him transition from a feeding tube to oral eating.

Whether Peter is cheering on the Detroit Red Wings or running and playing at school, he's teaching everyone around him not to be afraid to make friends with someone who looks different.
