My mum says my head is too expensive,because all my operations (手术) have cost millions of dollars.

I am sick with hydrocephalus. That means " water" in the head.

Water runs through the body like a river,but sometimes it won't leave my head. That water gives me bad headaches and lots of other problems; So doctors put a small tube (管子) in me to take away that water from my head.

I stay in the hospital most of the time. Sometimes the doctors let me go out to play. But sometimes,if I play too much,my tube has problems. I have to go back to the hospital.

My doctor,Dr. Beck,is the greatest. He takes good care of me,and he's a lot of fun too. My illness is hard to understand,but Dr. Beck always takes time to explain to me about it by drawing pictures or telling stories. I draw cartoons for him,too,to make him laugh when he gets tired.

When I grow up,I dream of becoming a doctor so that I can take care of kids like me. I have been in the hospital a lot,and my mum is a nurse,so I have learned a lot by watching and asking questions.

When I'm a doctor,I'll tell sick kids my story to make them feel better when they're afraid.
