...and it's so AWESOME! Well, it's sort of more like floating, but I really like it. I feel like I don't weigh nothing at all. My mom says I'm like a balloon, and she's worried that if she turns her head I will fly away, but I'm not that good yet. I'll keep practicing! [...]
Alright....so today we are at 14 pounds of traction. I have noticed a few changes over the weekend, nothing too alarming EXCEPT THAT MY KID NOW LIKES TO HANG FROM HIS SCREWS!!! Ummmmm....yeah...that's right. No, I'm not joking. The staff here say that Ben is quite the acrobat with his halo...yay! He LOVES doing hangy things, which [...]
I didn't have school today. I made a video on which boat can float. They weren't really boats. They were more like cars, but it was fun anyways. My doctor saw my experiment and liked it.
I received an email last night letting me know that Hope Airlines - a WestJet Cares for Kids partner charity is celebrating 10 years of flying Canadians to their medical appointments.

I know that I sometimes have a tendency for paranoia, but I have always thought that social workers were put on this planet to steal people's babies. Any time they walk by me in a hospital, I hold Benjamin a bit tighter. The last time we were admitted for a while, we had quite the [...]
This afternoon I was the only one at school because Amber had her surgery today and the other boy only goes in school in the mornings. Sometimes we have new students, but the new students this week just had surgery too, so I was the only one there. My other friends are too young to [...]
Ben had a good weekend visiting with his dad and his sister. It is these little distractions that help make time pass a bit more quickly around here. Our weekdays actually go by fairly quickly, but our weekends seem endless. However, I was able to recharge a bit this weekend and spend some time with [...]
I had a great weekend. My dad and Hannah visited me all weekend. On Saturday Dad had a sleepover with me, and mom went with Hannah. We had so much fun playing video games. I showed Hannah all around my hospital. We went to the museum downstairs; we saw the hockey waiting room on the main floor, [...]
