COURAGE
By Luke Amundson
WHY AM I COURAGEOUS?
I was born with Spina Bifida.
This means when I was born, my spine had a hole in it, so I had surgery.
I can walk, but usually with my crutches.
Last winter I grew very quickly, and this caused big problems with my spine again.
I had to have courage this summer to go to the hospital. This is what happened.
I WENT TO SEE THE DOCTOR MANY TIMESMy back and stomach hurt
My legs were getting weak
I HAD A BIG SURGERY DAYThey put tubes in my hands to help me sleep.
When I woke up, I played with my computer.
I WAS IN THE HOSPITAL FOR EIGHT DAYS!I had some nice visitors, and I slept a lot
I played with legos
I HAD LOTS OF THERAPY
…at the hospital …and at home
I AM HAPPY I HAD COURAGE TO HAVE SURGERY
• I feel BETTER
• I am STRONG
• I am HAPPY
• I am BLESSED
• I feel GREAT !
