Read Aloud

Today in read aloud we are still reading Small steps. Peg is a 12 year old girl who got polio in case you forgot. She is in sheltering arms ( that is a hospital for people who have polio) , but she got moved to a university hospital, because Peg couldn't breath we'll and she needed an iron lung and sheltering arms didn't have a iron lung and because her polio case was too extreme. Peg's case was so extreme that she thought she would die, but after she drank a milkshake( which Polio patients aren't aloud to drink)  and suddenly her temperature lowered and Peg lost 2 out of 3 kinds of polio. She was still paralyzed but one day she wanted to itch her self and she actually moved her arm and fingers. Later in the book she returns to sheltering arms and she was moved into a room with 4 other girls. She was  strong enough to be in a wheelchair and soon enough she was in walking sticks.
