Meet Miracle Child
Skye Carter
When Skye was an infant she was diagnosed with a sensory-neuro hearing loss, meaning she was 100% deaf and her mother, Cheryl, was told she had no hope of ever hearing again. The Carter family was sent to Children’s to see some of the best specialists for her condition. At 20 months old, Skye received a cochlear implant in one ear, and she received an implant in her second ear at seven years old. Today, Skye is attending school and is involved in many school activities. Her mother, Cheryl is so thankful for the cochlear implant because, without it, Skye would have to attend the school for the deaf and she would only be able to see her on the weekends. Instead, Skye has the opportunity to live a full life at home with her family.
