Paige was very focused on today's Kent-Kingswood Oxford swim meet.  This contest was the first meet that she was conscious of missing.  Paige desperately wanted to be in the pool. 

Last night she sent an email to her coach offering to break out of Burke and cheer on her teammates.  She also wrote to Barret, our best cheering parent, asking if he could please root relentlessly for Kent.  The saga of Barret's journey to poolside is beautifully chronicled in today's comments.  

The Kent girls put in a wonderful effort, with lots of cheering and one very worried teammate down in White Plains. Kent Girls Swimming and Diving won a 3-point squeaker in the last race!  

Tutoring this evening focused on the lessons of Langston Hughes' story and the agonies of disease and death in the trenches during the Great War.

There were no doctors today.  Her vision remains affected.  

We are very grateful for Paige's progress today.  There is rumor of her first outing tomorrow...
