My Surgeries
I have had a lot of great memories in my life with my family and friends, but sometimes I didn’t really have that time when I was younger. Since I was born in til I was about in 5th grade I have had 26 surgeries. My family has been big help with sticking with me and not giving up. Most of my surgeries were at the University of Iowa or down in Texas in the city of Huston. It showed how much my family cared about me and took time out of there schedule and fight with me through my surgries.
When I was born I suffered a broken neck, arm. The doctors tried many things to have me come out because I was so big but they couldn’t find any other way besides pulling on my neck, and arm. When I was in the hospital the doctors told my parents that I didn’t have a good shot of living the rest of my life because of what severe damage they did to by body as a baby. It showed how big the lord was with me after I was born and staying with me through the hard time as little boy through all my surgeries also.

Many of my surgeries were on my neck,arm,and stomach, the reason why I had a surgery on my stomach is because I had a feeding tube when I was little cause I could not through my mouth cause of my neck. I had a feeding tube till I was in third grade, when they Finlay removed the feeding tube in surgery and closed the hole for it on my stomach.
Another part on my body was my arm the doctors pulled my arm as hard as they could and basically pulled on all my nerves in my arm and to this day I still sometimes don’t have feeling in my arm.My parents have always called my right arm righty and still is name righty to this day. It is really hard sometimes not using both arms doing things but I have gotten use to it. Sometimes I like using one arm so if I can’t do something or don’t want to do it I always get help from my family.
When I was born I suffered a broken neck at birth because of the doctors pulling on my neck. This the reason why my voice is kind of Frogy and  not normal like other peoples voices are. Since my neck isn't that good the doctors have told me that I am not allowed to play tackle football cause of the hard hits that I could take to the head.
My life has been very fun and I  would not change anything for it even with a bad arm and a frogy voice and everything thing that has happend to me with my surgeries. I know these has made the person I am today it has let me fight through battles that I have. Also I wanted change my family if I had they been by my side since day one.
