2009 OLOL Elementary School Invitational Track Meet
All the kids had great sportsmanship, wishing each other good luck before competing, congratulating each other afterwards – just a nice afternoon all around. Emeraude enjoyed watching her cousins (we didn’t see Denika 🙁 but her 4 cousins from my side of the family were there as was her Godmother, my sister-in-law and the girls were great, bringing her around to the events she wanted to see, taking her back to their shelter to feed her a snack and let her have fun in the blankets – sweeties – it gave me a chance to get all the photos & info I needed).
Thanks to Karly Nakani & Anick DeMars, teachers from OLOL, who helped alot by providing me with all the info from records broken, high point scorers and such as well as getting the kids to pose when recieving medals and trophies, I will be burning the photos for them to have for the school.

Emeraude was so worn out at the end of the day; unfortunately we had been VERY delayed. I was due for an injection @ 11:20, I arrived at the hospital at 11h10 and did not receive my injection until 13h40 by which time I was in excrutiating pain, bawling my eyes out (there was a cardiac emergency which of course takes high priority, I know I would certainly want anyone I cared about being treated exactly as that person was! so I am in no way critisizing their being carefully and exclusively attended to;
So, I had planned to be at the track before lunch and Emeraude & I had blankets to set up a picnic (she was so excited, it never happened) but instead we ended up stuck in the emerg. Emeraude was amazing as usual. She entertained herself, socialized with the sweet lady working the gift shop, ate a bag of multi-grain tortillas from the snack machine (we could not get to the cafeteria as I had been told by the nurse who did my vitals that she would ‘be right back’ since she was not involved with the cardiac patient, unfortunately she was called into her superiors office and was never able to return) to tie her over until we would make it to the track (she actually did not eat there either, after such a hard morning at the hospital she had lost her appetite).
