A Healing Sound

A saxophone isn't an easy instrument for an eleven year old to play underordinary circumstances. Throw in bone cancer that has metastasized to the lungand you have a whole different ballgame.

My daughter was diagnosed with Ewing's sarcoma, a bone cancer, when she was nineyears old. We took her to a wonderful pediatric oncologist who gave us hope.

When spots were discovered on her lungs six weeks later, our hope dimmedconsiderably. We prepared ourselves for the worst.

My eleven year old son ranted and raved against God and even the president whenfaced with the news of his sister's declining health.“Why doesn't God take me?”

he wailed.“Why her? She's the good kid.”

I felt we needed to go on with life as normally as possible, so my daughterbegan fourth grade that year with the recommendation to her teachers that I becalled if she seemed too tired to make it through the day. My daughter resistedstaying home with every ounce of strength left in her small body. When theschool day ended, she would collapse on the couch at home and sleep untilsuppertime.

So small and yet so determined, my daughter vowed to be involved in as much aspossible. When her older brother tried out for percussionist in the little gradeschool band, my daughter began to plan for her entry into the group when shewould enter fifth grade.

We went to look at instruments. Of all the instruments available, my daughterinsisted on the saxophone.

“How are you going to manage that?”

With a determined tone, she replied,“I know I can do it.”

“All right.” I sighed.“If you can get a sound out of it, you can play it.”

For ten minutes the emaciated little girl with sparse hair blew into thisseemingly gigantic instrument and finally, a weak squeak emanated from it.

My daughter beamed with pride. The instrument was hers. In the days and monthsto follow, she amazed all with her prowess on the golden instrument. We fitted aspecial pad on the cord that held the saxophone so it wouldn't rub against hercatheter. We were amazed at the amount of energy she could muster to play theinstrument. At family gatherings she’d entertain the audience, bringing tears tomany eyes as they marveled at this miracle taking place.

And the best miracle of all was that the cancer was going away. At her check upthat year the doctors informed us the spots had disappeared from her lungs.

Did blowing the saxophone strengthen her lungs and cause the cancer to recede?

Was it strictly the medication and radiation treatments working? Or was theresomething more powerful involved?

All I know is that there were a lot of prayers for my little girl twenty yearsago, and she is still alive to testify to the miracle of the saxophone,determination, and God's love.

一种健康声音

[威斯康星]卡罗尔·S·阿林斯

萨克斯管是11岁孩子在普通情况下很不容易演奏的乐器。骨癌已经转移到肺部了，你却仍在进行一项完全不同的球类游戏。

我女儿被确诊为尤因肉瘤，一种骨癌，当时才9岁。我们带着她来到一位了不起的儿科医生那儿，使我们有了一丝希望。6周后她的肺部被发现有斑点，我们的希望一下子破灭了。我们等着最糟糕的时刻到来。

我11岁的儿子一听到他妹妹恶化的身体就向上帝，甚至向总统咆哮不止。“上帝为什么不带走我呢?”他痛哭着。“为什么是她?她是个好孩子。”

我认为我们需要尽可能像平常那样继续生活，所以我女儿上四年级那年，就给她老师建议，如果她太累而不能坚持下去的话，就给我打电话。我女儿用体内仅有的一点力量，参加户外活动。一放学，她就倒在睡椅上，睡到午饭时分。

我女儿那么小，又那么有决心，立誓尽可能参与更多的活动。她哥哥在小学乐队参加打击乐乐手选拔，我女儿就计划着上五年级时进入这个乐队。

我们去观瞧各种乐器。琳琅满目的乐器，我女儿坚持要萨克斯。

“你怎么演奏?”

她用坚定的口气回答，“我知道我可以演奏。”

“好吧。”我叹息道。“如果你弄出声音，就可以演奏。”

身体孱弱、头发稀疏的小女孩，吹着庞大的乐器，用了十分钟才发出微弱的刺耳声。

我女儿洋洋得意。这乐器归她了。随后的日子，她慢慢娴熟地演奏乐器令我们叹为观止。在用以托起萨克斯的粗线上我们加上衬垫，不至于摩擦她的导液管。看到她演奏的那股劲，我们感到诧异。每逢家庭聚会，她招待观众，无数眼睛潸潸泪下，因为他们看到奇迹发生而感到不可思议。

奇迹就是癌症消失了。那年检查她身体，大夫们对我们说斑点从她的肺部消失了。

吹萨克斯增加了肺活量而导致癌症退却了吗?是药物的威力抑或放射治疗起作用了?抑或一种无形的力量?

我知道是20年前为我女儿所进行的无数次祈祷，她依旧活着是萨克斯的奇迹，是意志和上帝呵护的奇迹。
