Excerpt:

Adalynn Willett was born with her intestines and liver outside her body. The toddler went home for the first time this week after spending 850 days in Cook Children's Medical Center. "She is very excited to be home," says her father, Bryan Willett. "She is full of joy." Her trip home was a long journey in the making. Over two years ago, Adalynn was born with a birth defect in her belly wall. All of her intestines and her liver were outside of her body. The condition is known as omphalocele, and doctors discovered it when Adalynn was still a fetus. After her birth, her parents thought the hospital stay would only be about three months. Twenty-eight surgeries and countless hours of physical therapy later, the young girl walked out of the hospital, the only home she had ever known.

Key:

  • Aggregate Sentiment is meant to be an indicator of an individual's overall sentiment.
  • The Mean is meant to be an indicator of an individual's average comment sentiment.
  • The Standard Deviation, when there are enough quotes, will indicate an individual's consistency of sentiment (i.e. a Standard Deviation of 0 would mean they were very consistent in their sentiment and 1 would mean they were very inconsistent).

Note that quote stats are likely to be meaningless beyond the aggregate score due to the tiny sample size. However, they are always provided just in case you find something useful there.
