The gift of sight

Expectant mother Ashton Johnson is visually impaired. At every OBGYN appointment during her pregnancy, she relied on her husband and doctors to share what her baby was doing. 

• Thanks to her creative doctors, however, she was granted the gift of "seeing" her new son.

👓🍼 What a gift... "The thought came like it would be really nice to get her something tangible to hold on to, to feel the contours of the baby's face and to really get an understanding of what baby looks like," said Ashton's doctor, Dr. Katie Sekpe.

• After using a 3D printer to make models of the baby's face, Dr. Sekpe gave Ashton the life-like creations at a recent appointment.
• "This is so cool. Like I have not been able to feel his, like see his ultrasounds like at all so like this is so cool," Ashton said. "I can see his lit tle lips and his little nose. That is so cute. And his little eyes. Oh my gosh!"
