Blog posts discussing our growth rod surgery and osteotomy surgery in hospital stay at Shriners Montreal
The ladies here gave me a new superhero doll. His name is Courage. I'm a bit taller than him, but his head is bigger than mine. He can't have a halo because his head is too big and it would rip. Sometimes he is in my bed, wheelchair, or walker, so I have to punch [...]
...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! [...]
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.
Today was a great day. I worked hard in school today, and my teacher gave me TWO new Hot Wheels cars! Mom said I was getting spoiled, but I told her that wasn't it. My teacher was just so PROUD she had to buy me some cars. After lunch it was MOVIE DAY...and guess what....I [...]
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 [...]
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, [...]
They made me a walker here. It's pretty big, but I can push it all by myself. Everybody laughs and says they can't believe how good I am at walking. That's funny because I used to always walk. Sometimes I get stuck in doors or go into walls, but someone always helps me unstick. They [...]
Today was a very good day here. I do not have to stay in my room anymore. I was not sick this morning, and my nurse took my second IV out of my arm. Mom and I went to the playroom and did some Valentine's cards. It is very hard to look down, so I [...]
This morning the medicine they gave me to make my back hurt made me get sick. Mom said I had to sit in my wheelchair today and I didn't want to. I was scared of it hurting too much, but I really liked sitting up and I stayed in it all afternoon. I even got [...]
Today is my first surgery. I was very scared. They said they are going to put pins in my head and some in my back. I met the guy who was going to put me to sleep and he was so funny I forgot how scared I was. He juggled balls for me and threw [...]
