My story

Hello my name is Lucas. I was born on March 18th 1995. When I was born I had a lot of stomach problems and I was in and out of the Hospital. When I was about 2 years old I had to go to the hospital for Hernia surgery. I was in the hospital for about a week. I don't remember much other then I hated the medicine. After the surgery I started getting more stomach problems and I kept waking up my mother cause I always cried. During these problems every time I eat something other then water or bread I would have stomach pains and my stomach will get hard as a rock.

When I was 4 years old I still had the problems but not as much. I went to Burdick for half a day of school and then I would go to Woodier for the other half. Around 6 years old I could handle my stomach pains 90% of the time. I was also in 1st grade and the first day didn't go so great... When I went to 2nd grade I was doing really well. I was getting straight A's and near the end of 2nd grade I started Martial Arts because I watched this show called Black Sash and it inspired me.

At 10 years old I was in 5th grade. I got my Red Belt in Martial Arts and I was pretty happy since I started to do a lot more complicated stuff at that belt! When I was still 11 I went for my Black Belt but I failed because I didn't do good in sparing. The second time I went I passed with flying colors! But the hard part was to relearn all 9 forms from all the belts in martial arts. That was hard but when I turned 12 I went for my 1st degree Black Belt. I was doing good and I passed on my first try! When I started up 7th grade I was doing good. But near the end of September I was diagnosed with ITP which basically means I had lower then normal blood platelets. When I went to the hospital I went to a room and they took a blood sample. They said I had only about 5000 platelets when I was supposed to have a lot more. When they got me up the the room that I was to stay in, they took another sample. They came back and told my mom that I had under 1000 platelets which is very bad. So they tried 2 different things on me. The first thing was taking pills which didn't help. Then they tried a liquid. They had to check on me every 5-15 minutes cause my liver could fail. I was in the hospital for 1 week. But I survived! I am now 13 and so far it's going good!

My plan is to do an Audio file. I will read My Story in the same order as I wrote it above!
