My Childhood Years Chapter One

When I was little, i wasn't feeling great like most kids, because i was born with this thing called Hydrocephauls. When i was probably 2 and a half years old i had to have surgery at the Cleaveland Clinic to have a shunt put in, and then when i was three years old i had open heart surgery and had to stay in the hospital for a little while until i was feeling better and until i came home. So when it came towards February i was pretty much better and I got to come home on valentines day. Which was a special day because i came home on my cousin's birthday.  Even though i got to come home on valentine's day i was still healing and i also had these things called seizures which i usually had either during the day or night. I don't remeber my seizures, which is a good thing but there was one that i did remeber having and that was the night i was with my mom and dad in their bed and even though i was having a seizure i could hear my mom telling my dad to get one of medicines that stop my seizures, sometimes if that didn't work i would have to go to the hospital, which i didn't like very much. On my tenth birthday i had to have my shunt replaced because my shunt tubing broke and made it all the way down to my hip area which isn't very fun to have surgery on your birthday, but it had to be fixed. After i came out of surgery i was very sore for a couple of days, even when i came home too i was still sore. I had someone come over and teach me stuff that i was missing at school, until i was healed and i was well enough to go back to school. I haven't had a seizure at all this year and i am very thankful, and i am very glad that i am doing alot better.
