HE CAN HEAR!

My God! He can hear! What excitement, what joy, I do not have the words to describe how wondrous this moment is. What had been taken from my precious little child has now been given back thanks to Dr. Gresham Richter. He will always hold a special place in my heart for the gift he has given my son. It is too overwhelming to fight back the tears.
My child can hear. These words are words I never thought I would ever say. These words are words that to most parents have little or no significance. But to me, they are a beautiful symphony that goes on forever.
Grayson's face lit up as his Audiologist Jordan King fed him his first post-op sounds through his implant. He immediately look to me with a huge grin as if to say " Mommy, I can hear." To think, what he must have been thinking as his now silent world, the world he had now become accustom, had been magically transformed once again. Only this time for the better.
I had been prepared for tears, for the possibility of his rejecting this change, but it never happened. Instead, because of his once having hearing he had embraced the gift of sound. My fear, my dread, had all disappeared in an instant.
