Paige was evaluated at Burke for speech therapy, and with her current progress, she could finish in under four weeks. She also completed three hours of neuropsychological testing, with more to follow in two weeks. The tests should identify the cognitive changes resulting from the injury.

One orphaned bear and a displaced monkey accompanied Paige home from the hospital. They unfortunately lost their identification during Paige's many moves.

One is a tall, dark and handsome Bearington Bear with a red ribbon around his neck. The other is a medium brown, lanky Gund monkey. The bear is keeping company with others from Mere and Whit; Mike; and Ann, Julie and Nancy.  The plucky primate is with monkeys from Ryan; Jordan; Brittany, Ali and Paige; and Julia, Nat and Lauren. If you can solve either of these identity crises, please write to nghost@mac.com. The rest of the menagerie is thriving.

Paige feels ready to visit Kent, so we hope you will all treat her gently and watch her for signs of fatigue. She has worked hard to get herself to where she is today. You have encouraged her in her recovery, and you can help her with a calm visit. Many thanks.
