Hello and welcome to my blog! My name is Kaitlynn. This summer I went to the hospital. I was at a party and I ily stabbed myself with a sharp stick. I didn't go to the hospital until three days later. When I got there I was terrified. But after I got an IV it wasn't so bad. Sometimes I had my dad take me on a walk in a wheelchair at about 10:00 at night. We would go down to the lobby and dad would bring up magazines and I would sit on them to hide them. I would have a lot of visiters. The restaurant my dad works at, Jaspers, sent me a stuffed bear, who I named Ivy after IV. Then I got an MRI, which is a kind of x-ray, except you go in a tunnel sort of thing. Well, that took about an hour and a half and I fell asleep. My cousin, Max, who's 8, came to visit me and I told him how to push my wheelchair. I had a bunch more visiters in those 5 days. On the fifth day, my mom took me home and then we went to the movies to see The Sisterhood of the Travling Pants. My mom bought us a big popcorn and some candy, which she usually does not do. When we got home I ate some more. Why am I eating so much you ask? Well, the next day I would get a pic-line and I couidn't eat or drink after midnight. The next day my mom and dad drove me to the hospital and, after a long wait, they put me to sleep. When I woke up, I was a little dizzy. The next few days were a little odd, because every morning when I woke up my mom would have to give me medicine through my pic-line. Then, on they third-to-the-last day, I got a fever and they had to take my pic-line out. The next two days I took my medicine out of cups. After that, everything was normal. The total number of shots I got was 34. So that was what hapened to me over the summer.

Hi Kaitlynn, how did I get such a smart granddaughter? I really enjoyed reading this site as I learned more here than I do when I talk to you. Hope your school year gets to be so much fun that you will forget about Woodmont. It sounds like your new school is very progressive and that is important.
