What a scary day!...


With great trepidation, I was carried out of the doctors and into the ambulance with my dad and the paramedics. I didn’t know what was happening because they put me to sleep. Once I got up I was at the starships children’s emergency department waiting to go into my operation because I had a bad infection going through my body. This was at like 6 o’clock pm but my operation wasn’t until 10 o’clock at night. It was for 1 hour. That was pretty long.

“Dear Lord I hope that my operation goes smoothly and fine, Amen”, I prayed before I went into surgery. It is good to pray to God when something bad happens. At that time it was round about 8 o’clock, I had to go somewhere and get this needle put in one of my veins in my left hand. It was so this tube to put my medicine in could get through to my infection



“Now it’s time to go through to surgery Awhina” said doctor Ben. I started getting goosebumps and getting nervous. A nice doctor named Grace kindly calmed me down and said to take the sleeping pills so I wouldn’t feel anything in  the operation. “Good night everyone” I said as I dosed off to sleep.

Early hours in the morning I hear these little voices in my ear and I look to see who's there and all my brothers and sisters are there. “ Hi Fina, are you alright?” said my brothers and sisters “Yes,” nodding my head. My stomach was about to explode because I hadn’t had any thing to eat in so many hours, so I ask my mum if she could make me some migoreng noodles. 


In comes the breakfast “delicious.” The others were like “Ohh how come we never got any!”
“Was it scary Fina?” my oldest sister Courtney said to me. “Nope” I said. I asked her, "Why did you ask me that? Was it scary when you came in?" She had come in to have her new baby boy named Tamihana (guess what I’m the god mother!) And she said “Yeah.” 
After I finished breakfast I was just waiting for a checkup from the doctor. Then I was allowed to go home. Yay!

Going to the hospital was really fun but at the same time very sore. I thank God for guiding all of us through this and helping us out and I also would like to thank the surgeons who did the surgery on my infection - Ben, Grace, Chelsea, Ashley and Yen. If you ever go to the hospital don’t be scared, be tough cause the doctors are only trying to help.
