We waited for granpa to get here. Then we went to the ferry. I was scared. Then we went to the Swedish Hospital. I had to go in a playroom and wait there til the nurse came and she gave me some clothes to put on, and it was very different clothes than I had ever worn before. She also gave me some slippers to wear. Then there was another nurse and she brought me and my mom in her office and she gave my mom, grandpa and dad name tags that say their names on them. Then I got to get a mask that made me fall asleep. I got to decorate the mask with stickers and I got to use smelling chapstick. I picked out Dr. Pepper and then I went to the surgery room. When I stepped one foot in there I was scared. I thought I would be hurt when it happened, but I was okay. When I woke up they gave me a popsicle. I picked cherry. I couldn't really get it in my mouth. Then the nurse brought me into a room, well first she brought me into an elevator. Then she brought me into a place where I could get ready. I started watching a movie and I fell asleep again. My mom told me I slept for two hours and 30 minutes. I woke up again and I felt much better. The other nurse told me that I should get ready and when I was there they let me have a teddy bear to hold and then I got to keep it. Then I told you about those slippers didn't I? I got to keep those too. The slippers weren't the most comfortable pair of slippers. Then I got to have the same popsicle but that one I ate much better. I got to have a wheel chair ride down to my mom's car. Then we went to the ferries to go home. and it was very good to go home because I was very tired. I had to wait about 3 or four days to take off band aid that was holding the spot where I had surgery. Well, my mom's friends came over to check on me. Even my Aunt Jenny came over. And my grandpa came too. He got a new laptop so he could go places, he goes to places for his job and he gave me his old lap top. And that's what I'm writing my blog with.

Hello Carmen. This is Marshall's mom. I don't know if you remember me when you and Marshall were in the same 1st grade class--I volunteered quite a bit in there. Marshall told me about what was going on in your life yesterday when he got home from school. I think it is awesome that you are blogging about it and Marshall and I will follow your blog as I'm sure many others will. Wyatt, who is Marshall's older brother, remembers you from when he was going to your elementary school. He thought it was great that you liked Johnny Depp as this is one of his all time fav actors:) Marshall and Faro are good friends also and we see him a lot, especially as we live right next to each other:) We will have to ask him how you are doing from time to time. This is the first time ever I have felt compelled to comment on a blog so hopefully I am doing it correctly:) Take care sweetie, Alison & Marshall
