She Came for Healing, She Left Inspired
By Sharon Ricks
Susana always knew she was different. She had blue lips and
fingernails. She couldn't run. She couldn't play hard. And for her,
ordinary childhood diseases meant a trip to the hospital. She had a
hole in her heart, and the bigger she got and the more she did, the
less oxygen she had.
'Our Three Sons' By Rich McManus
Among the pleasures enumerated in the classic tune "Take Me Out
to the Ballgame" — including the title sentiment, the peanuts
and Cracker Jacks, the wistful desire that the experience never end,
the pleasures of rooting, the survivability, albeit with shame, of a
loss, etc. — no mention is made of bringing home a ballplayer
to stay under your roof, drink your juice supply and feast upon your
deli meats. Yet this is exactly what Marsha and Henry
Hennings — two longtime NIH'ers — agreed to this
past summer. They didn't host just one hungry, strapping,
19-year-old college baseball-playing kid, but three of them, for 10
weeks.
