Last
week on Tuesday I got to skip school (YEAH!!) and go see Carson who is my big
brother in the hospital. We got there and he was just given breakfast. We just
hung around for a while until Occupational Therapy. This was the first time
that he would go out off of the hospital grounds.... big deal......like BIG
DEAL. We went out to the van and they had a special lift that lifted him up
into the van, it was so cool. So we went
to Great Clips and he got to have an awesome haircut. Across the
street and to the right was Costa Vida and Carson, the Occupational Therapist
and I got really good food. After eating out we got back in the van and
drove back to Physical Therapy (which we were a little late for). They hooked
him up to a bike that pedals itself to move his muscles and they hooked up
the pads that gave him a tiny shock to make his muscles flex when the bike
would make his leg go up. When he was done we went back to the room. When
we got back to the room I interviewed him for a school project. The two
questions I asked him were "How have you gotten through challenges in your
life?" and "What are your plans for the future?" He gave
some great answers which will help my essay for school. After that we
had a quiet time (which I hate) and we all just relaxed. It was an awesome day
and I learned a lot about what he does in a day. I hope I get to do it again.
