In 1882, when Helen Keller was 1 ½ years old, she suffered a terrible sickness. Her fever raged for days. The doctors did not have antibiotics with which to treat her. They also did not have the knowledge that today’s doctors have about the illness.

“I don’t think Helen will recover,” said one doctor “I don’t think Helen will recover,” said one doctor. Helen’s parents were probably too upset to be of any help, either. Helen did recover, but the illness left her totally blind and deaf. It is hard to believe that the rest of her life was not a painful struggle.
