On Saturday, October 23rd, 2010, Camryn was riding a friend's bike in her friend's neighborhood. She got going too fast and couldn't stop and ran into a tree and broke her femur! She was so brave. Many of the doctor's and nurses commented on how "stoic" she was and how they'd never seen a patient as young as she is handle everything so well. She had a four hour surgery that night, where they inserted a metal rod down the side of her femur and screwed it into the bone. She'll have it removed in 18 months. This picture was taken the morning after surgery. She had a catheter in, a tube coming from her leg to drain excess blood, and an IV.
On Sunday, she had lots of visitors from the ward, her bishop, and her best friend from school. She had so many cards up on her wall from the primary and young women and friends that the nurses couldn't believe she'd only been there for one day.
One of her friend's brought her this "pillow pet" that Camryn loved. Camryn said, "Mom, I'm glad you're not a visitor that comes and goes. I'm glad you're here all the time." Camryn was really brave, but it was hard and scary and many times she would hold out her arms to Greg or me and ask for a hug.
