Starring Sally J. Freedman As Herself (2012)
“Freedman as Herself Douglas didn’t get pneumonia, he got nephritis, a kidney infection. He was very sick and had to stay in bed. Nobody could prove it came from being wet for such a long time but Sally knew that’s what her mother was thinking.
Ma Fanny moved into the spare room to help Mom take care of Douglas. And Aunt Bette came over every day after school. She made charts and taped them to the wall in his room. One to keep track of his medicines, another to record his temperature, and a thir...d, showing how many glasses of water he drank each day. If they added up to a quart or more Mom pasted a gold star on that chart at night. Every Thursday afternoon a lab technician would arrive to take some blood from Douglas’s arm. Sally wasn’t allowed to watch, although she wanted to very much.
Nobody worried about Douglas missing school because he was a genius. He’d skipped third grade which made him the youngest student in eighth. When he was ten he’d built a radio by himself. There wasn’t anything he couldn’t fix or make from scratch.MoreLess
