DAUGHTER'S NORMAL HEARING RESTORED

DEBRA CHEW

In June 2006, while my daughter, Emma, was in kindergarten, she took a standard hearing examination. Soon after this test, the school board of education contacted me, stating that Emma had been diagnosed with a hearing problem, affecting the functioning of her middle ear. They indicated that she would be retested in the coming school year.

As I thought about this, I realized there had been occasional times when my daughter wouldn't respond to my husband or me, particularly when we whispered or were speaking to her from a distance. But it had never occurred to us that this indicated a hearing problem. I'd always thought she might have just been tuning us out, as children sometimes do.

The results of this hearing test gave me the opportunity to pray about this in Christian Science, as was our practice. I knew prayer could heal this, just as it had many other challenges we'd faced as a family.
