Tomorow Alla will come over and we’ll hang out. Then, on Sunday, I am going to my friend’s birthday party in Brooklyn, my friend Keshi. She has FD too. I know her from camp. She’s really nice and she loves horses. We just have a lot of fun together. She goes to my school so I see her a lot. She’s come to my house to visit me. A couple of my friends from school will be at the party. There will be cake, ice cream, She can eat ice cream.
BKG: She can eat ice cream?
Sam: Yes. there is a swallow study test and what they do is that they give you a little cup of juice or milk and you drink it to see if you can have it or not. I think I tried it twice and it didn’t work. Neither of them worked. That’s why I can’t drink milk or juice. Keshi passed the test and she can have pretty much everything that I can’t. My friends Perry and Jamie are not allowed to drink anything because it can go into their lungs and make them really sick. My friend Jamie is missing a lung because she was diagnosed very late. She can breathe, but she wears oxygen every night like I do. I hate it but I have to wear it.
Perry also goes to my school and she has to have eye drop every fifteen minutes. She cannot produce tears. Jamie also has to have eye drops but not as much as Perry. Both are on oxygen.
They are very nice. They are very funny, very cheerful, and we just have a lot of fun together, all three of us. We three are the only ones in our school with FD. Keshi loves acting. She also LOVES to knit. She knits all kinds of stuff. Jamie loves cats. She has one cat.
