Clinic

Right now I am at one of my weekly clinic appointments. I come here to make sure that everything is going okay. Any minute a doctor is going to walk in... I hope I don't get introuble for using the computer...haha.

There is a little girl here who has a feeding tube. There is a boy here whom I've seen before. I know he had some kind of transplant, but he never talks. Every day we should be thankful that we are free. Not controlled; not always at the hospital. Before I had my transplant, I was on dialysis. We tend to take it for granted that we were all born with working organs. Working hearts, kidneys, livers...And yes, even intestines. I know of a little boy who was in need of intestines.

Us humans, in day-to-day life, get mad or frustuated, say things we regret, and sometimes ruin our whole day over the littlest things. It is very ridiculous. I also know of a little 6 year-old boy. When he was 4, he had a liver transplant. He lives in Hawaii, and now he is 6, 2 years later, and he needs another liver. Most adults complain. They have no idea that some kids have more understanding of life, and much, much more stressful lives then them. Please, next time you run out of gas, your cellphone runs out of battery, or you get called for Jury Duty...remember, while you're getting called for Jury Duty, some kids are getting called for chemotherapy.
