We are so fortunate to be able to have her bilaterally implanted and to have her progress at such amazing speed.There are many others who are not so fortunate in Malaysia.We don't have insurance coverage for CI operations here. Some children will get fundings from the ministry of health and some from sick children's fund but it is very limited.
Recently I was approached by the group of doctors who are responsible for bringing CI technology to Malaysia.They are a group of passionate doctors and wonderful people who have been helping deaf children in Malaysia hear for over ten years.They are currently trying to propose to the government to provide more funding for CI operations so that more children will receive the benefit.
So we put together a video that chronicles Rhianna's hearing journey from the time that she was signing until the time that she is stringing many words to form complex sentences.It was amazing to see how far she has come and how hard she works to achieve all this.We hope to show people the endless possibilities for these children when they have this miraculous technology.So we are hoping to get free CIs for many more children in this country.
Now, maybe I understand God's plans better.
seronok bila tgk kes2 CI yg dah berjaya..

ReplyDeleteThat is great that you are working to get more cochlear implants to kids that need them.
It is amazing how cochlear implants can help our little deaf ones.
