Un regalo para Claus / A gift for Claus
Claus miraba por la ventana del auto mientras se dirigían al hospital con sus padres. Ver pasar a las personas era una de sus cosas favoritas cuando viajaba en auto. Los diferentes colores que podía observar en la forma como vestía la gente le llenaba de emoción. También se fijaba en los colores de las paredes de las tiendas que llenaban toda la avenida central.
Sus padres miraban de tanto en tanto por el espejo retrovisor para constatar que todo andaba bien con su pequeño hijo.
Mirarlo sonreír era para ellos un alivio. Los constantes días sombríos que el pequeño Claus soportaba, eran un puñal en el corazón de los abnegados padres. El mundo era un lugar hostil, y para un niño como él, era además un entorno peligroso.
Claus necesitaba preparación para enfrentarse a un ambiente que era poco gentil con gente como él. La larga espera por un tratamiento había llegado a su fin, y el niño estaba a punto de recibir uno de los regalos más grandes de su vida.
La madre pensaba en la expectativa que tenía por delante y una lágrima corría lentamente por su mejilla. Desde el nacimiento de su hijo, su vida era una montaña rusa de emociones y sentimientos. Por un lado, la felicidad de tener al niño en sus brazos le daba calor a su corazón, por otra parte, ver lo mucho que lo limitaba su mal, era para ella como una ola polar que le helaba los huesos.
Claus seguía mirando por la ventana, sorprendiéndose por las muchas cosas que veía en su ciudad de camino al hospital.
Luego de algunos minutos, llegaron al estacionamiento, y su padre se apresuró a abrirle la puerta. En realidad quería evitar que Claus saliera corriendo como solía hacer, pues el niño siempre lo hacía al darse cuenta de que llegaban a la cita con su doctora. Claus disfrutaba de aquellos momentos, pues la consulta tenía varios juguetes, y la doctora siempre le obsequiaba dulces a Claus.
—Hoy es un día muy especial Claus, hoy tu doctora va a terminar de ajustar ese aparato que tienes colocado —dijo la madre haciendo señas para él.
—Este aparato es muy extraño, mami, y no me gusta. ¿La doctora Anny va a quitarme esto? —preguntó el niño con sus manos.
—No tienes que preocuparte, hijo, ese aparto te hará bien —le aseguró la madre.
Los tres entraron a la consulta, allí los esperaba la doctora con una sonrisa en el rostro. Cuando Claus la vio, corrió a sus brazos y se dejó caer en ellos con alegría. Dentro del consultorio, estaba el personal auxiliar que construía las prótesis para diversas afecciones.
La doctora le pidió a Claus que se sentara en una silla alta que estaba junto al escritorio, y a sus padres los hizo sentarse junto a él. Encendió una cámara de video para documentar la cita médica y Claus se asustó un poco al verla.
—¿Para qué es eso? —preguntó el niño confundido.
—Es para grabar el momento en que encendamos tu implante. Nosotros necesitamos tener esa grabación para estudiarla, y tus padres seguramente querrán tener una copia para recordar este día —le explicó la doctora con mucha dulzura, haciendo gestos y señas lentos y delicados.
La doctora Anny escribió unas palabras para que la madre de Claus las pronunciara en voz baja en el momento que ella le indicara. Le pidió al niño que bajara su cabeza para, hizo una pequeña revisión en el aparato que estaba conectado detrás de su oreja, y su auxiliar activó un panel en una computadora dispuesta para ello en el escritorio.
—¿Todos listos? Aquí vamos —dijo la doctora, y la cuenta de tres, hizo señas a la madre para que dijera las palabras acordadas.
—Claus, hijo mío, te amo… —susurró la madre.
Claus dio un salto, totalmente sorprendido por poder escuchar por primera vez. Las palabras sonaron dulcemente para él, y tanto su madre como su padre rompieron a llorar de felicidad al ver la reacción de su hijo.
El niño estaba feliz. Se sentía increíble poder oír al mundo que durante tanto tiempo permaneció en silencio.
Fue el comienzo de una nueva vida llena de oportunidades para Claus y sus padres.
Un milagro moderno en el mejor sentido de la expresión.
English version
Claus looked out the car window as they drove to the hospital with his parents. Watching people go by was one of his favorite things to do when he traveled by car. The different colors he could see in the way people dressed filled him with excitement. She also noticed the colors on the walls of the stores that lined the central avenue.
His parents would glance in the rearview mirror from time to time to check that everything was going well with their little son.
Seeing him smile was a relief for them. The constant gloomy days that little Claus endured were a dagger in the heart of the devoted parents. The world was a hostile place, and for a child like him, it was also a dangerous environment.
Claus needed preparation to cope with an environment that was unkind to people like him. The long wait for treatment had come to an end, and the boy was about to receive one of the greatest gifts of his life.
The mother thought of the anticipation ahead of her and a tear slowly ran down her cheek. Since the birth of her son, her life was a roller coaster of emotions and feelings. On the one hand, the happiness of having the child in her arms warmed her heart, on the other hand, seeing how much his condition was limiting him was like a polar wave that chilled her bones.
Claus kept looking out the window, amazed by the many things he saw in his city on the way to the hospital.
After a few minutes, they pulled into the parking lot, and her father hurried to open the door for her. He actually wanted to prevent Claus from running out as he used to do, as the boy always did when he realized that they were arriving at the appointment with his doctor. Claus enjoyed those moments, as the office had several toys, and the doctor always gave Claus candy.
-Today is a very special day, Claus, today your doctor is going to finish adjusting that device you have in place," said his mother, making signs for him.
-This brace is very strange, Mommy, and I don't like it. Is Dr. Anny going to take this off? -asked the boy with his hands.
-You don't have to worry, son, this device will do you good," his mother assured him.
The three of them entered the doctor's office, where the doctor was waiting for them with a smile on her face. When Claus saw her, he ran to her arms and dropped into them with joy. Inside the office, the auxiliary staff was building prostheses for various conditions.
The doctor asked Claus to sit in a high chair next to the desk, and had his parents sit next to him. She turned on a video camera to document the doctor's appointment, and Claus was a little startled to see it.
-What's that for? -asked the confused boy.
-It's to record the moment we turn on your implant. We need to have that recording to study it, and your parents will surely want to have a copy to remember this day," explained the doctor with much gentleness, making slow and delicate gestures and signs.
Dr. Anny wrote a few words for Claus' mother to say quietly at the time she instructed her to do so. She asked the boy to lower his head to, did a small check on the device attached behind his ear, and her assistant activated a panel on a computer set up for that purpose on the desk.
-Everybody ready? Here we go," said the doctor, and on the count of three, she signaled the mother to say the agreed words.
-Claus, my son, I love you," whispered the mother.
Claus jumped, totally surprised to be able to hear for the first time. The words sounded sweet to him, and both his mother and father burst into tears of happiness at the sight of their son's reaction.
The boy was happy. It felt amazing to be able to hear the world that for so long remained silent.
It was the beginning of a new life full of opportunities for Claus and his parents.
A modern miracle in the best sense of the word.

Five years this has been happening to me, it started here, around people that are still here. Homeland security has done nothing at all, they are not here to protect us. Dont we pay them to stop shit like this? The NSA, CIA, FBI, Police and our Government has done nothing. Just like they did with the Havana Syndrome, nothing. Patriot Act my ass. The American government is completely incompetent. The NSA should be taken over by the military and contained Immediately for investigation.
