finished their studies in Philadelphia, kindly thanked the
doctors for their opinions, took Chad home and went to work.

worked on Chad for four years. To their credit, Chad not only
recovered, but also went on to be an international swimming
and lifesaving champion, an international-level snowboarder
and completed a post-graduate-level tertiary study. |
