To Speak Again

A woman in Alexandria has been without a voice for 30 years. Jan Christian was in an accident when she was a teenager in high school. She had been riding in a car with friends when a car was going to hit them. The driver swerved to miss the car and went into a head on collision with a pole. Jan flew forward and her neck hit the dashboard enough to crush her neck and the dash. They ran to get help and while in the bathroom, Jan tried to speak. It sounded like the girl from the exorcist, according to Jan. She started to panic. Jan was misdiagnosed my doctors and has had to live without a voice for 30 years. It had gotten worse overtime, and family members had to speak for Jan. Then Jan found out about a procedure that might be able to save her voice. Several surgeries later, Jan is relearned to use her vocal chords. She is still trying to figure out if having her voice back is real or not.

This story is amazing! I can't even imagine to be without a voice! Especially if it were for 30 years.

  1. Even though pretty much every story I saw was yours, they are the best!
    And this is truly a miracle.
