Session One: Today I met Miss Hazel. She is a very sweet 13 year old girl. She was just diagnosed with lung cancer and is being very strong for her and her parents. Her doctors made a miracle drug discovery called phalanxifor and it has saved her life. She was very quite and exhausted which is understandable considering she has just had the injections of the phalanxifor. She said she had the injections put into her body to please her parents as well as coming to these sessions. She is very irratated with her parents for making her come to these sessions and kept saying there was no use in her being here. She is angry and overwhelmed by the whole situation. She concluded by saying that her parents are also forcing her to start going to a …show more content…
She also looked quite tired, she needs to make sure she is getting enough rest. As said before rest heals all and rest will help with her cancer and overall health. She needs more than anything social interactions, not just support group but she needs her freinds and family surronding her.
Session Three: She came in today and was much more friendly and in a much better mood in comparison to our last session. She said she went to support group and although she does hate it, she didnt have a terrible time. She breifly mentioned meeting an interesting boy her age named Agustus Waters. She seems to like this boy very much and was much happier talking about him than anything else. She has been hanging out with more of her friends latley and has been getting lots of rest. Whatever she is doing is working and she needs to keep it up.
Treatment: Keep hanging out with Agustus, he has a high impact on this sudden change in additude. Keep going to support group, getting rest, she is due for another injection of phalanxifor and keep being more social and active.
Session four: I hadnt seen hazel in about a month and right when she walked in I knew something was different. She was smiiling very wide and was the happiest I had ever seen her before. She said that she was doing amazing and that everything was really great as of right now. Her lungs of course, still sucked a being lungs but other than that she was more than happy.

Flannery O’Connor once noted that all good stories are ones of conversion (Wood, 217), and Wise Blood is no exception. The central spiritual struggle of the book is that of the character Hazel Motes. The protagonist goes through not simply one but several conversions throughout the book. His spiritual quest is his realization of the Church Without Jesus, and his search for a new jesus. As analysis in this paper will elucidate, Hazel spiritual arc is a critique of approaches to knowing God. The first such method, nihilism, is a belief in nothing. This exists not only as a rejection of belief in an areligious sense, but is an active love of the concept of nothing itself. The second method comes in the debate of how one can come to know God,

Firstly, within the novel, it is clear that Hazel is a caring person and is fully aware of what her body’s condition does to her
In the book Watership Down by Richard Adams, Hazel proves in many ways that he is a leader. Being a leader means having confidence, bravery, being trusted and worthiness. Everyday Hazel shows that he is smart and confident by leading the rabbits to a new place to find food or a new shelter. In the book Watership Down a few rabbits from the sandleford warren go on a mission because Fiver, the smallest rabbit in the warren, says he can sense that something bad is coming. Hazel believes Fiver and they go to find a new warren. While they are looking for a new warren they come across the efrafa, (another warren of rabbits that is not liked very much) and a few more rabbits who end up joining them. Hazel is the main character, he is strong and confident.
The very first step in deciding if prescription medication is the right choice for a child is knowing with certainty that the child has a real medical condition. Studies show that close to one in five children are misdiagnosed with Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) (Sherlock, Tracy). If it is suspected that a child suffers from ADD it is important that the child receive extensive testing to make certain the diagnosis is accurate. There are several tests that can be administered by a specialist including: a general physical, a neurological exam, a comprehensive interview with the child and others in a position of care for the child, an observation of the child’s everyday activities, and psychological tests to measure IQ and social and
Last but not least you could implement talk therapy into your treatment regimen. When changing the diet of my seven year old cousin my aunt decided not to let him consume anything with sugar in it. He was diagnosed with ADD and ADHD but after the change in the food you have no way to tell that he suffers from it. But even though this was a very compelling point it is not the only reason why kids shouldn’t be on behavioral drugs.
When searching for Hazel’s view and belief on life, you had to dig into the text from the story and search for where she opposed Augustus’ belief about life. The story does not clearly state what her beliefs are, but you are able to grasp an idea of them when she reacts to Augustus sharing his views on how he believes you should live life. When it comes to death, Hazel shows her humor toward it when Augustus calls her an “incorrect concept,” and she follows with saying “I know. That’s why I’m being taken out of the rotation” (Pg.110 L36). She brings up that she is going to die at some point, and that nothing is forever.
Hazel grace is incredibly sarcastic throughout the book. A quote from the book is, on page 24; Hazel says “I didn’t tell him that the diagnosis came three
was a burden for her friends and family staying alive in her condition. She recovered from this
As far as the ADD goes, my parents were keen to put me on medicine for that. But every single medicine that I've tried taking to combat it only kills my personality. As anyone who personally knows me will tell you, I have a wonderful personality. Pretty much, once i got started on the medicine, I got extremely depressed. So I quit taking it. Then, of course, my grades started dropping. So, I tried a different kind. That cycle went on for three years, until at the beginning of this year. That's when I found a medicine that not only keeps me focused on one thing, it also doesn't turn me into a completely emotionless automaton. And although it took years of trial and error, the end result was worth it. At least in the sense that by the time I go off to college to start my own life, I'll have a way to keep my grades in order while not losing any of my ability to feel happiness.
Interestingly, Augustus got in contact with a charity that gives cancer kids a wish. Augustus decided to use his for the two of them to go on a trip to Amsterdam to meet Peter and Lidewij. In the midst of this, Hazel painfully experiences her lungs filling up with fluid causing her to be rushed to the hospital. She lives, however her personal doctors say she isn’t healthy enough to go to Amsterdam. During one of her cancer meetings, one of her doctors, Dr. Maria, says that Hazel should live her life, convincing
"Hyperactivity with ADD, without treatment, often results in failure, rejection by peers and family turmoil, all of which can lead to developmental delays and psychiatric complications stemming from low self-esteem and frustration" (Jerry M. Weiner, M.D., Pres. Amer. Academy of Ch. & Adol. Psychiatry)
The next visit was a couple weeks after, the overall vibe was different. The vibe from walking in, her parents, the nurses…something was different. I couldn’t figure it out, and I didn’t figure it out until I got into Hunter’s room. I walked in to see her standing there, waiting for me with a warm and bright smile on her face. My smile grew so wide my cheeks hurt, and tears of joy ran down my cheeks. I ran over to her and pulled her into a hug, and for that moment, everything instantly became better.
