Small Mircales

(that happened to Danny and me)

When my older brother was three days old he turned yellow and he was about to die. My mommy had to take him to the Hospital. All of the doctors had to crowd around him to have surgery. The surgery failed and didn’t help. The doctor said he would most likely die. My mom was crying and praying. She heard Danny crying and screaming. He was just born.

His temperature was rising. He had all these tests. My mom felt sick when she heard Danny screaming. They said a piece of his kidney was missing, and he would most likely die.

When he was almost 2 years old a miricale happened. When my Mom took Danny to the Hospital that peace was on. We where praying and hoping he wouldn’t die. He didn’t! Nicole my oldest sister had tears of Joy!

Today Danny is 16. Somehow he never complains or cries if he gets injuries. And I’m happy I get to see him.

When I was born the doctors said I was the size to have a blood suger problem. And if it never got cured then I could die when I would get older because I would always be very sick. Blood suger means I didn’t have enough suger.

My whole family prayed. When I was 1 day old they said I didn’t have it anymore. My family was happy that it was gone! And so am I.

Where did you go yesterday?

The ear, nose, and throat doctor.

Why?

To check to see if my ear is good and to see if he could figure out what the virus was.

What did he do?

He checked my nose. He checked my throat. And then there is this big microscope, and he looked into my ears. In both ears he had this big steel fork. He hit it and put it all around my head to see if I could hear well.

Could you hear well?

Yeah.

Then what did he do?

After that he talked to my Mom. Then we had to go into this other room across the hall. Then she…

Who’s she?

Rebecca…. the nurse. She put these blue tube in my ear and it showed a green picture of my ear drum. It printed out. I had to go to the computer. She put a box on my shirt and a tube in my ear. I would hear all of these beeps and other sounds.

What was she doing?

I think it was probably… it had all of these pictures. If it is a high picture it means good and if it is a low picture it means bad.

Were yours high or low?

They were both high. There was this little chart. It had lines that would go up and down and across. She put it in my left ear. She did it twice like my other ear. We went back to the green part. It printed out the pictures on the screen that happened.

We had to leave and go back to the doctor’s. He told us about it. He told us that it is o.k. and that nothing bad is going on in my left ear. He said Doctor Cox made my ear better.

So did he tell you anything else?

He said, “You have beautiful ear wax.”

Was he a funny doctor?

Yeah. He said I could help some other doctors. When we came in I had to sit up, and he told mom questions. I saw this tray with tools and shots. So I fell on the bed and said “I hope he doesn’t give me shots!” They didn’t give me any shots.

That’s good.

Yeah.
