No more pediatrics

Two days after my birthday I got pneumonia again, which really sucked.  I was in the hospital for two weeks this time.  Luckily my birthday party was awesome I got to have a sip of champagne, and I felt great.   There were 25 people at my party and each one shared a story about me.  I got a lot of great presents I got an autograph from Heather Burns, and these really awesome sneakers from Sonia and Lily.  It was a really really great 21st birthday party.  

Now that I'm 21 I can't be in the pediatric unit at the hospital anymore, so this visit was completely different from the last one.  A couple days after my birthday party I started to not feel well, I would get fevers and my oxygen would get really low, we went to see Dr. Axelrod.  She said that the pneumonia was not gone, and I would have to stay in the hospital again.  After being in two adult unit hospital rooms, I missed the pediatric unit where the nurses were very friendly, and they would bring me good food.  Although I couldn't go back to pediatrics, the third room was the best.  It had a nice view and i had it all to myself and all the nurses were really nice.  

I had a lot of visitors, and people called me from all over the world.  I was super excited to see my best friends who i haven't seen in 10 years.  Their names are Sam and Julian, and their parents names are Philip and Elizabeth Benfey.  Other visitors were Alla, Bambi, Rayna, Cathy, Martin, Eric, Diana, Dr. Sussman, Lauren, Connie, and more.  It was just great seeing everybody.  Last Monday I got to go home, I was ecstatic to leave the hospital.  

Since I left the hospital, i have felt so much better but still resting.  I have been gaining my strength back.
