Gabbys amazing CI (Cochlear Implant) surgeon asked her to help him with a presentation about Cochlear Implants to 80 college students at Washington University (Wash U for all you STL peeps).
ummm...she got up there (@ 8:30 on a school night which usually has a bedtime of 7:30)...sat on the desk(let Dr. Chole PICK HER UP!)...got miked up (and let Dr. Chole TOUCH HER!)...AND proceeded to answer all of the doctors questions remarkably well... COLOR ME SHOCKED! She told the class about her Thanksgiving..."I rather like Mashed Potatoes" HA! etc and about her birthday and her sister...
This is the same girlie who wont talk to strangers one on one...and not scary strangers... my clients!
It was awesome and we couldn't have been more proud...she has come so far and her speech and language is amazing...
Hope this is the first of many speaking engagements sweet Gabby girl!
So proud of Gabby girl!!!!
