    Right then Dr. Bracket and Dr. Early came in.
    "Hi " .
    "Hi Kari wants a drink and the bottle's empty" .
    "I'll get some more " .
    When Dr. Early was gone Dr. Bracket wanted to ~take Kari's temperautre earlier than 3 : 30 so he took it .
    "It's normal! " "You can take Kari home today" .
    When Dr. Early came back with a bottle of orange juice. Dr. Bracket said to him "Kari Murray is going home for her first time " .
    "That 's great " . "Here's your bottle Kari " .
    Anne decided to take Kari to her grandma's then home. It took Kari 15 minutes to finish her orange juice. After she was done Anne had to change her. After she was done that, she thought they should go. So they did. The two doctors walked Anne and Kari to the car. Dixie went to say bye to Kari too. When they got to the car Anne put Kari in the car seat and strapped her in.
    "That's a good car seat for her" .
    "Where can I get a wheelchair for her? "
    "At the Sick Children's Hospital or at Ontario Cripped
    Children's Center".
    "Oh I heard about that place".
    When Anne got in the car Dr. Bracket started to say "Make sure that they make a seat that Kari needs.' .
    "Okay I will".
    "When Kari gets too big for the car seat sit her in the seat of her wheelchair always" .
    "I will " .
    When the doctors and Dixie waved to Kari, Anne helped Kari wave back. When they went to Kari's grandma's house Anne picked Kari out of the car seat and carried her to the door and rang the doorbell. When Anne's mom opened the door she said "come in dear" .
    "Thanks mom" . "Here's Kari. Don' t you think she cute? "
    "You are a cutie aren't you? "
    "Yup she really is".
    "What about the brain damage? "
    "Well mom she has Athetoid Cerebral Palsy" .
    "What does that mean? "
    "It means she never will talk, walk feed herself, hold herhead up or sit byherself" .
    "You poor thing" ."I t' s 4: OO Anne" . "Sit down dear" ."Okay mom" .
    Kari started to cry. Anne picked Kari up and put her on her shoulder and patted her back while she was talking to her mom.
    "I decided to get a wheelchair in a few weeks" . "What colour should I get for her? "
    "I don't know dear" .
    Kari made a noise. "P-p-p" .
    At that time it was a quarter to five.
    "We should go home now mom" .
    "Okay dear and good luck with getting a wheelchair for Kari " .
    "Oh thanks" .
    When they got home it was 5: 30.
    "Honey I'm home".
    "Hi dear"."Is this the lost baby girl?"
    "Yes she is". "She has Athetoid Brain Damage".
    "I heard about that before" .
    You are a cutie aren't you? "
    Anne told her husband, his daughter's name was Kari Anne.
    "I like that name".
    "Will you mind Kari while I make supper? "
    "Sure I will".
    When Anne made supper they started to eat. While Anne was feeding Kari she took bites between spoonfuls of baby food. After they finish supper Anne changed Kari for bed.
    Each day Kari's mommy or her daddy played with her or took her for walks. In four weeks Anne took Kari to the Ontario Crippled Children's Center to order a wheelchair. When they got down to the Sitting Clinic they waited for someone come. When someone came they said "You are Mrs. Murray aren't you? .
    "Yes I am " .
    "Well I am Mrs. Mac". "What's your daughter's name?"
    "Kari" .
    "Will you come wi th me Mrs. Murray? 'I
    "Sure " .
