wrightla61, may God have mercy on your helpless, hopeless soul. Haven’t you heard of Helen Keller and the many opportunities that her life and her OWN efforts have given to other deafblind people like herself? Don’t you believe in giving each and every person, with and without disabilities, the choice of leaving their own imprint in the world? If all of Helen’s accomplishments were the product of her “hopeless insanity” 100 years ago, I'd like to see what these girls aren't capable of doing now.
My name is Ebony Lewis and I have a 6 year old daughter and her name is Nhyla Lewis. When Nhyla was born the doctor's told me my daughter was deaf and she would be for the rest of her life. But like you mom I am believing in the Almighty God and I can't wait to hear what she has been thinking all these years. So her dad and I are believing God for a speedy recovery and i will do the same for u. May God continue to keep you in perfect peace and remember to always keep him first.
The misguided efforts of these doctors, determined as they are to save everything that has a pulse has condemned these children to a lifetime of hopeless insanity through sensory deprivation. And for what? To satisfy the hypocratic oath? God save us all from fools and zealots.
The parents, in an interview
http://deafness.about.com say apparently the triplets lost their eyesight due to prematurity of birth;their deafness was a result of antibiotics needed for the same reason. Society must look at what it's heroic efforts to sustain premature births are doing to the quality of life of many preemies.And the tremendous cost to the medical, social and educational systems. My heart aches for the older daughter - she will always, by necessity, be short-changed.Having said all this I say a little prayer for the girls and their parents. God Speed.
As a wife and mother, I know how hard raising a family can be. I honor Liz for her hard work and ability to stay calm under pressure. Love and best wishes to her family.
