Sarah Goes Home for Christmas,
Hastened by New March of Dimes
| ‘ Can I go home for Christmas?”
That is the plea of tens of thousands of hospitalized
children at this time of year. Too often the doctor’s
answer must be a regretful, “no.”
But among the lucky ones who made it last Christmas
was Sarah Rauchbauer, 7, of St. Paul. Minn. Aftpr
long months of racking,
pains due to rheumatoid
arthritis, Sarah posed the
question to her doctors at
the University of Minne
sota Children’s Rheumatism
Clinic, which is supported
by the March of Dimes.
The doctors hesitated to say
yes because Sarah had been
making such good progress in !
the hospital—after being a very i
sick little girl, and in great i
pain, for many dreary days and
nights.
Finally. Dr. Homer Venters
(above, right) carefully exam
ined the child again, consulted
with his colleagues, and de
cided to gamble.
“Wereasoned that fulfillment
of our little patient’s longing to
be home for Christmas — with
her mother and father, her
brothers and sisters and her
----
dog Mitzy —might do Sarah
more good than the hospital.
So we sent her packing.”
The experiment was success
ful. Now Sarah is home for her
second Christmas since she fell
ill. She returns to the clinic
once every three months for a
checkup. She still limps slight
ly (liet note her carefree jig,
lower left, on arriving home
for good; and the joyous em
brace she gave Mitzy, upper

In addition to The National
Foundation-March of Dimes
gran t which made Sarah’s treat
ment possible, the voluntary
health group has made other
grants to its research study
renters in arthritis and birth
defects as part of a program
financed by contributions of
the American people to the
March of Dimes each January
