John C. Burr of lubur
ban Cleveland, Ohio, was
understandably rattled that
day five years ago when
his wife, Caroline, an
nounced, 2Mi months be
fore their first child was
due, 'Honey, I'm ready."
Like most men, the 29-vtr-old
chemist had never deliver
ed baby. Hut there wasn t
time to get to the hospital in
SL Tsui, Minn., where they
were then living, so he phoned
the police for help-
He also phoned the obstetri
cian who offered some well
chosen words of instruction
just in time for John to de
liver the baby, who arrived in
breech position.
Kor a beginner, John did an
admirable job. The thrce-and-one-half
pound baby girl, who
was born with the umbilical
cord wrapped around her neck,
was rushed to the hospital
where doctors kept her alive
with the help of blood trans
fusions and supplemental oxy
gen. Ten weeks passed before
John and Caroline were able
to take little Elizabeth home.
For about a year, everything
seemed just fine.
But the young couple began
to notice that their daughter
was not moving or talking like
other one-year-olds. They la
ter learned that Elizabeth had
been born with a crippling
birth defect.
No one knows what caused
it. but the pretty, intelligent
little blonde has no control
over her leg muscles and has
serious speech difficulties.
. "Although physical therapy
was prescribed for Elizabeth at
18 months," says Mrs. Burr,
"it was not until she was three
years old, when we moved to
Cleveland, that her condition
was properly diagnosed and
she began to receive the kind
of total care she needs."
Elizabeth was taken to the
March of Dimes-financed Birth
Defects Center at Cleveland
Metropolitan General Hospital.
There a team of medical ex
perts began a continuing pro

tional therapy, fitted the little
girl with leg braces and began
a program to correct her speech
difficulties.
Elizabeth visits the hospital
three mornings a week. There
she is learning to sit straight
pronounce words properly and
walk. As they do with other
patients, the doctors observe
Elizabeth's ability to learn and
try to determine how she can
best be educated.
"Many patients may have a
great deal more potential for
learning and achievement than
is generally recognized," aays
Dr. Irwin A. Schafer, director
of the Birth Defects Center. "If
assessment is inadequate, these
children could be functionally
handicapped all their lives and
become a burden on the com
munity. "In our comprehensive care
program, these children can be
adequately assessed. Our staff
can look at these children
neurologically, medically and
psychologically over extended
periods of time and recom
mend the kind of educational
programs they will need.".
Elizabeth, whose IQ is cer-
tainlv hich enough for her to
benefit from a formal educa
tion, is now attending nursery
school and will be enrolled
next year in a school for the
handicapped.
The total treatment and ed
ucation of Elizabeth Burr is
not confined to the hospital
and school. With the help of
her mother, the little girl ex
ercises at home on swings and
in the sand box.
"Elizabeth is the perfect
mother to her dolls," Mrs. Burr
points out. Although she can
not walk without nelp, she is
able to crawl between her toy
stove and a little table to feed
her dolls imaginary tea and
crackers.
The Burrs have a son, Mich
ael, 3, who is normal and
healthy. There is just one
problem, though. While Mrs.
Burr is teaching Elizabeth to
read and pronounce, she must
also help Michael, who has
picked up some poor speech
habits from his older sister.
The Burr children can under
stand each other, but they
need help if others are to un
derstand them.
