Deedee hasn't the strength to hug her new toy

Original Toronto Star caption: Deedee hasn't the strength to hug her new toy. Eleven-year-old Deanna Benusic of Edmonton arrived in Toronto last night with her mother, hoping medical experts can find out how to fight a strange crippling disease that has captured nearly all the muscles of her body. She cannot speak, has little distance perception, and can barely crawl. But she managed a fleeting smile for photographer.
