15-Year-Old California Piano Prodigy Suddenly Forgot How to Play
One day, Evan, who started playing piano when he was 5, just couldn’t remember how.
Evan Hines played the piano for the young patients at Sutter Medical Center inside Sacramento Children’s Center.
It’s the 15-year-old from California's way of giving back after his own medical scare.
One day, Evan, who started playing piano when he was 5, just couldn’t remember how.
His mom, Sueann, told reporters, “At first I wasn't sure if he was having a mental health crisis or something, but he just wasn't acting himself.”
He was admitted to the hospital and diagnosed with varicella encephalitis, an infection or swelling of the brain.
His mom said, “I have been told it's extremely rare for that to happen. He was vaccinated for chickenpox and everything, so even more rare.”
Thankfully, he was in the right hands as his doctors were able to help him recover.
“It's really only something that we see in people that have an immune problem,” Dr. Emy Daniel at the Sutter Medical Center, Sacramento Children’s Center, told reporters.
Evan says that he hopes music will help others heal and now he is back to being himself.
“Within a matter of four days, I woke up on Monday morning, and that Monday morning I was just completely healed,” he said.
