What makes people think that parents of deaf kids would be any better informed than my mother's maid? |
Sure you can downplay miracles... You can look at a rainbow and see a miracle.. or just downplay the beauty and magic and analise it as the refraction it is....
For you CI might just be a tool, for her it's a miracle that a little device implanted in someones ear can help them understand sounds where before sounds were gone, or not understandable.
And to me, when I ask my daughter to make the sound of a cat, and she does that to perfection... that is one of those every-day miracles that I see..
For Lotte - my daughter - and for you it's not a miracle. It's just as it is.. but for the bystander that looks at it... it is..
