Our Lives with Michelle McManus: A miniature miracle and a family lost and found

A miniature miracle and a family lost and found

BBC Radio Scotland - Our Lives with Michelle McManus, A miniature miracle and a family lost and found

Michelle McManus hears about a baby's cochlear implant and a tree-top proposal.

Michelle hears from the parents of a baby who's received a cochlear implant, talks to Rose from Beauly about her new found family and to Helen about her surprise tree-top proposal.

This week Michelle meets Megan and Sam from Dumfries, the parents of Robyn, who was born profoundly deaf.   Michelle learns of their journey from Robyn’s birth through to her being fitted with a cochlear implant and then onto the miracle moment when she uttered her first word.   

Michelle’s envy is difficult to hide as she hears of Helen’s recent proposal of marriage from her partner Thomaas – involving a very high tree climb, a sky bench and half an apple. 

And we meet Rose from Beauly who went on a life changing journey of discovery – in  search of the Canadian father she had dreamed of meeting.
