I SHALL LIVE.

Okay. So at 3 AM Friday morning my dad took me into the ER at South County. They told me I have bronchitis, acute. Acute bronchitis is when it's really really bad and it's sudden. anywho, they made me breathe oxygen for an hour, man it was so relieving, except my hands and feet all got numb x.X They gave me an inhaler and anitbiotics.

The inhaler and antibiotics didn't help, if anything, they made it worse, because inhalers make you breathe faster.. So, around noon my dad took me to the ER at Hasbro. The nurse said she thinks i could have pneumonia. I went in for X-rays of my chest, i was fine. Finally, the like 10 doctors, and 5 nurses examined me. They told me I had this thing, i forget what it's called.. but it's when all the muscle and cartilige connectd to your ribs and chests and lungs and all that is infected and inflamed and it hurts SOO bad to breathe. it hurt bad to breathe, and i guess i got scred and anxious, giving me anxiety attacks, making me hyperventilate, making me pass out. so if i just breathe regularly, i can breathe. they told me i should take motrin (or other kinds of ibuprofen), 600 MG of it. That's 3 pills of ibuprofen. Anywho, last night I slept for the first time in like 3 or 4 days. It was so nice. I'm so happy, i finally slept. Yeah. It was good. They said I should heal in 6 days. Mom's making me go back to school on Monday. It's okay, I have to get caught up with my school work anyway, plus I miss Amanda, Maddie, Jill, Jackie, Mary, etc. Amanda might visit me today, since I'm not allowed to go out =] Yay.

Anywho. I'll be okay. I seriously thought I was having heart attacks and was going to die.. But I'm so glad I shall live.

I love life.
I love you all.
I don't want to die.
I'm not depressed anymore, now that I've been through that and almost dying and seeing my life flash before my eyes.
I treasure life.
You should too.

Love,
