I had to go to the hospital, because I got pneumonia while my dad was in Vancouver. The first night my mom and I slept in a single room, then the next night we stayed in the ICU. Then the next day we went into another single room. My dad came back early from his trip,and he gave me a beautiful gold bracelet with hummingbirds on it. While I was in the single room and the ICU I got a lot of visitors, for example Natan came to visit me Rayna came Bambi, Aunt Deb, Lily, Maya, Kate, and Alla all came to visit me. It was boring being in the hospital, but I was so happy to come home home on Wednesday.
While I was at the hospital, I had to have a CAT scan, an IV in my arm which was extremely itchy and painful. They took blood from me a couple of times, and I got 2 transfusions. I had a lot of different nurses, and Dr. Axelrod came in a bunch of times to check up on me. The nurses were all so nice. There was Erica, who has 2 westies, so she totally understands all about them. My nighttime nurse Caroline was super nice and extremely friendly. I watched The Cosby Show and Marley and Me over and over. I also played war with Maya, which was a lot of fun to play. When I was in the hospital my class called me and put me on speaker, so I got to talk to everyone at the same time. I was so happy to finally get home, and be in my own bed and see Smokey and Charlie, who I missed so much while I was in the hospital.
I can't believe it's only been 4 days since I've been home it feels much longer than that.

Hey Sam I love your blog–how cool are you? I just got back from the hospital in Australia where they cut some skin cancers off my scalp, but didn’t cut off my hair, so when I woke up I had a huge plaster on my head and my hair was all matted like dreadlocks. I flew back to Papua New Guinea and everyone thought I was the swamp monster or something. Sadly I didn’t look as cute as you in my hospital bed, maybe because I didn’t have those cool yellow pajamas. I think you are the most beautiful young woman Ive seen in a long time. But a word of warning: Zac Ephron is beneath you—he’s so cardboard! Much love, Nancy Sullivan
