Trying out Traction!

Trying out Real Traction!

     Hey, it’s me Emily again here to update you guys! I couldn’t blog after the surgery on Tuesday because I was feeling so bad, I was throwing up after I ate and drank, and my head just hurt so much! I rested all day! My cousins came and visited me and gave me some yummy brownies and a cute potted succulent!! I didn’t sleep at all Tuesday night either because I couldn’t find a comfortable position. Wednesday, I felt a little better and I ate with no problem! My dad brought me a delicious, warm croissant! I went to Child Life, (kids playroom/activity room) and I decorated a mini notebook.
     Thursday, I went to Child Life again and I played the Wii and I painted a beautiful ocean picture!
 
It's supposed to look like those streaky fade into pictures.
     I later went to the upstairs atrium to do some fun activities and I painted another thing.

I saw this idea on Pinterest and I thought it looked cool so I decided to paint it.
     Yesterday on Friday, I stayed in my room, my cousins came to visit me and gave me lots of things to do! I got a new sketchbook, a calligraphy set, a knitting set, and a fluffy pillow! I was also painting another painting. Remember that little cute succulent my other cousins got me?
I painted it!

I was super proud of this painting because I don't usually paint and my skill is more in sketching.
I went to Child Life at 3 o'clock to play once a month BINGO! I didn't win but in the end everyone still got a prize, and I chose out a remote control helicopter that didn't really work. I slept great last night and only woke up once! It's Saturday now and I am going to draw something in my new sketchbook! I am getting used to the halo being on my head (I thought I would never get used to it!) and I am able to sleep at night with no pain or discomfort. I am eating great, and love all the food my parents brought me yesterday! I am getting tons of emails from people, telling me to stay strong!
     I am changing when I update this blog, instead of every Saturday, I'm going to try to post more often. I will try to post every night so that you guys know how I'm doing! I really appreciate all the support and gifts from everyone and I'll talk to you later!
