She has never tried to use her hand like other babies do at this age.

Operations on her hand were performed to release the thumb. In order to do this skin grafts had to be done, the skin being taken from her abdomen. This was followed by daily dressings and exercise. Susan is one of 95 patients at Crippled Children’s Hospital fighting to overcome birth defects or disabilities resulting from disease or faulty development. Due to the increase in surgery the past year our blood bank has become depleted. Blood donors are needed to replenish our supply. Crippled Children’s Hospital blood bank is maintained at the Medical College of Virginis Hospital. Anyone desiring to give blood please go directly to Medical College, or the Bloodmobile when it comes to your area, indicating that this be credited to Crippled Children’s Hospital. We would like to remind the public that the hospital makes just one appeal each year on Donation Day, always the Tuesday before Thanksgiving.
