        "text": "Tolson, C. J.\nClaimant was injured on February 2, 1936, in an accident, which arose out of and in the course of her employment as a Supervisor at the Illinois Soldiers\u2019 and Sailors\u2019 Children\u2019s School at Normal, Illinois. The injury was serious, causing temporary blindness and general paralysis. The facts are fully detailed in the case of Penwell vs. State of Illinois, 11 C.C.R. 365, in which an award of $5,500.00 was made to claimant for total permanent disability, $8,215.95 for necessary medical, surgical and hospital services, expended or incurred to and including October 22,1940, and an annual life pension of $660.00.\nSuccessive awards have been made by the Court from 1942 to and including May 1, 1961, and the matter is now before the Court for an award to and including October 31,1961.\nThe record consists of a verified petition, supported by original receipts, and joint motion of claimant and respondent for leave to waive the filing of briefs and arguments, which has been allowed.\nThe petition alleges that claimant is still bedfast, and requires daily medical and nursing care. It further discloses that claimant has incurred expenses in the following amounts:\n1. Nursing and practical help_______________________________________$877.05\n2. Room and board for nurse________________________320.25\n3. Drags and supplies___\u2019_______________________275.51\n4. Physician and professional services_____________\u25a0______711.00\n5. Miscellaneous expenses __________________________________________29.00\nTotal _______________________________________________$2,212.81\nFrom an examination of the exhibits and supporting vouchers, it appears that such sums of money were necessary for the care of claimant.\nAn award is, therefore, made to claimant for medical, nursing and other expenses from May 1, 1961 to October 31, 1961 in the amount of $2,212.81.\nThe Course reserves jurisdiction for further determination of claimant\u2019s needs for additional care.",
