Question

My husband and I are both musicians. I took it1granted that one day our daughter Holly would learn to play an instrument.
In 2000 Holly fell2and the doctor said she may have been left3deaf. “She won’t be able to hear music in any shape or form,” said the doctor. It was a great4.
In 2001, her right ear was fitted with a cochlear implant --- electronic equipment that provides a sense of5for people who are completely deaf. Seven years later, another was fitted in her6ear. The doctors played us a model of what music would sound like to Holly --- I was horrified7it was just white noise.
“Holly will hear music,” I8saying to myself. I tried to put what had gone wrong right, so we constantly9words and sounds to her. She has been having lessons since she was seven . she’s10all the time. I’m always surprised by just how much better she does.
When she 11a national piano competition, the adjudicator 12Holly for appearing to listen to the sounds she was making --- her whole body, he said to us, was 13in the process of making music.
I14that the model we originally heard of how music sounds with a cochlear implant isn’t15holly hears it. The brain is complex and adapts to many16;in some way, Holly has made17of it all. She loves life. She doesn’t think about what happened to her and says18, “I don’t want to talk about bad things. Let’s talk about good things.”
I was determined that her life would not be19by a miserable event, but never imagined that she could20what she has. I can only describe this as a miracle.
