"Okay, we're done, I will stay here With the girl while you

"We' re done doctors" .
"Okay thanks a lot".
The doctors looked at -the x-rays while Dixie mined Kari.
"Yup that's what I thought". "The girl has brain damage
Joe".
"What kind Kelly? "
"Athetoid". "That means she can't talk, Walk, feed herself
or hold her head up or sit by herself" .
"We have to know if she has a mother or father or both
Kelly".
"I know Joe, but how?"
"Phone the newspaper and put an advertisement in and if no one
has lost their child we will just have to find a nice home for
her".
Dr. Bracket got on the phone.
"Hello, can I help you?"

Sun paper?"

Hospital".
"Okay i t will be in tonight" .
"Thanks for the help".
They went back to check on the little girl.
"How's her temperature now Dixie?"
"Down to 88".
One minute later Kari began to cry again.
"It's okay sweet heart, yes it's okay".
"Do you think she's hungry Joe?"
"I don't know, what do you think Kelly?"
"I think so! "
"Will you go to the Dominion and get a few jars
of baby food Dixie? "
"Sure".
"First let's put her in a crib and put her in an ordinary
room".
"I'll get that crib which is out of the hall".
"There you go honey" . "Ready for a ride? "
"Put her in room six on the fourth floor" .
In the room - "I'm going now, I'll be back as soon as
I can " .
"Okay Dixie"

"I hear her Kelly" .
At that time Dixie was back in the room.
"I'm back".
"Dixie, listen" .
"M-m-m-w-w-w-t-t-t".
"She's making sounds. . "When did she start making
them?"
"Just a minute ago!" "Now what about the baby food
Dixie?"
"Well I brought back twenty-eight big jars and a
dish that warms up the food and two plastic bibs with a
pocket on each of them and they have a cute girl on them".
"That's great".
"I'll warm up the food for her" .
