It was hard but I went through it. I just knew that everything would be ok. -Charlie, 8 years old Whenever I have operations and go in wheelchairs, I have to go back on my feet and keep trying to walk. -Charlie, 8 years old Finding support during the rehabilitation process During my rehab process, which ended up being three months, there were people who I met in the hospital who were just really supportive. We all had a great amount of enthusiasm, and we were able to pull through by looking at each other’s experiences with a sense of humor and we were able to talk to each other about different experiences. That was very helpful. I think it was more helpful than the counseling that I went through my freshman year because the counselor really didn’t know exactly what I was going through and, even though the people in rehab didn’t know exactly what I was going through, they knew sort of what I was going through because we were all in rehab together. -Emily, 18 years old
