Eerste Activation - Vooravond

Aan de vooravond van Lottes "aankoppeling".
Wij wachten af in spanning, niet wetende wat te verwachten morgen. Mijn verwachtingen zijn ongewild toch wel heel hoog. Ongewild, want ik ben bang voor de teleurstelling.
Hoe ga je reageren, Lotte? Wat hangt er boven jouw hoofd? Zalig onwetend ben je vrolijk en "praatziek" als altijd.
Morgen zit er ineens iets in jouw hoofd. Wat doet dat met jouw? Blijf je dezelfde Lotte of brengt dit een verandering teweeg, en zo ja, in welk opzicht.?

Activation !!

In November she heared for the first time. Very slowly the level was turned up, and from then on she was hearing. Obviously, all this new input to the brain meant nothing to her... but the start was made....

It was great seeing the reflex (blinking) when she could hear. (Well, the brain registered.)
With us the activation was 3 days. 2 sessions every day, turning up the "volume" every time.
And evan though this went very slow (in our opinion) it really worked well, because Lotte NEVER had a negative experience in that time...
Oeps, forgot on day three, a chair was moved, and the sound of the legs on the floor surprised her too much.
