She is affectionately called “ Rampage ” by her parents , fifth-year Scott & White Healthcare orthopaedic surgery resident David Kummerfeld , MD , and his wife , Katy . As Paige ’ s bruises would attest , the 22-month-old McLane Children ’ s Champion is fearless .

Kummerfeld worried that her daughter ’ s bruises might be the result of something other than excess energy . Her eyes were still crossing , and her right eye drifted inward . Her mother also noticed that Paige ’ s eyes didn ’ t follow moving objects , such as the ceiling fan , people entering the room , or the light-up toys that belonged to her big sister , Lilly . “ When we walked about a foot away from her , Paige cried as though she couldn ’ t see us ,” Mrs . Kummerfeld recalls .
