My husband and I are both musicians. I took it 36 granted that one day our daughter Holly would learn to play an instrument.
In 2000 Holly fell 37 and the doctor said she may have been left 38 deaf. “She won’t be able to hear music in any shape or form,” said the doctor. It was a great 39 .
In 2001, her right ear was fitted with a cochlear implant --- electronic equipment that provides a sense of 40 for people who are pletely deaf. Seven years later, another was fitted in her 41 ear. The doctors played us a model of what music would sound like to Holly --- I was horrified 42 it was just white noise.
“Holly will hear music,” I 43 saying to myself. I tried to put what had gone wrong right, so we constantly 44 words and sounds to her. She has been having lessons since she was seven . she’s 45 all the time. I’m always surprised by just how much better she does.
When she 46 a national piano petition, the adjudicator 47 Holly for appearing to listen to the sounds she was making --- her whole body, he said to us, was 48 in the process of making music.
I 49 that the model we originally heard of how music sounds with a cochlear implant isn’t 50 holly hears it. The brain is plex and adapts to many 51 ;in some way, Holly has made 52 of it all. She loves life. She doesn’t think about what happened to her and says 53 , “I don’t want to talk about bad things. Let’s talk about good things.”
I was determined that her life would not be 54 by a miserable event, but never imagined that she could 55 what she has. I can only describe this as a miracle.
