I had a very serious thing happen to me over the month of February, that's why I have not posted a blog for some time now.
This is what happened...
I experienced sharp pains in my chest and stomach area, after a week of visiting the ER and doctor's office they diagnosed me with gall stones. They got so pain full that I had to get my gallbladder taken out. I spent only a day in the hospital and was released to go home, I was told I should start to feel better in a couple of days and should be able to bowl the following weekend. But after a few days, the pain didn't go away, a fever developed, and stomach swelling as well. I went back to the ER, and they told me that I had bile running though me because of a cut bile duct that happened during surgery and excessive air in the stomach that they still can't explain. I could have died if my mom didn't push me into going to the ER because it could have gone in my blood. So they did emergency surgery and sewed up the cut and I was in the hospital for about a week tell I was released about a week ago. Now, I am doing much better still recovering from the surgery. Can't wait to get back to my normal life, one more week of school off to rest and about a month till I can bowl again.
I would like to thank the following for all they did for me during this time.
Beth and William for the visits and especially the great Peanut Butter Fudge
Aunt Jackie for the visits and the great advice (you do know what your talking about)
Sammie for the nice letters and the visits that cheered me up
My Bowling Team for the nice cards, bowling pin, and nice offers and get wells I have received
All the Nurses and Doctors that took care of me when I was in the hospital, they were all very nice to me while I stayed
My Great Grandma for the nice polo that made me feel better and the wishes to get well
Brady and Katie for the days they took off of school to help me and to spend time in the hospital, and when I am home to help me with what ever I need
My Grandpa because he did all the behind the sense work , taking people places and helping with dinners and such that made life easier for everyone
But especially I would like to thank from the bottom of my heart my grandma and my mom. They spent nights in the hospital with me, helped me with everything at every hour while I was in the hospital, took me to every doctor visit I needed to be at, had little sleep because they stayed up just in case something happened again, dealt with my attitude because of the tube that was in my nose, and watching TV during the day with me so I wasn't lonely. My mom also for helping me with everything when I got home, especially giving up her nice, comfortable bed for me and missing a whole week of work, just to take care of me.
I Love Everyone So Much
I would like to thank everyone for the prayers and best wishes.
