Today’s post is part of a blog-hop to encourage Renn, a five year old with severe epilepsy. He will be in the hospital this week to undergo many tests. Renn has already had many tests and major surgery for his epilepsy. You can read more of his story here.
Renn – I spent a lot of time in hospitals when I was your age. I had a bad appendix – but it wasn’t where it’s supposed to be – so they had to do sooooo many tests. I understand how tough it is. My dad always brought me a comic book and my mom brought coloring books and crayons to cheer me up.
Renn is a HUGE Star Wars fan so Knowing that laughter is a good way to battle ‘the dark side’ I thought a few chuckles would help:
Knock, Knock Who’s There?
Maida Maida Who?
Maida force be with YOU!!
Knock, knock Who’s There?
Art Art Who?
Art2D2
Why does Princess Leia keep her hair in buns? Because she doesn’t like bagels!
And here are a few ‘mind’ games you can play while sitting in waiting rooms….
I spy with my Jedi eye….. (similar to ‘I spy’ and a combination of 20 questions) The person may ask questions like….Is it bigger/smaller than Yoda? Is it shiny like C-3PO. Is it fuzzy like an ewok? Does it roll like R2D2?
Who am I? Think of a Star Wars character or prop. Then the other person has to guess by asking questions like: Are you a human? Are you an alien? Are you on the Dark side? Can you use the Force? Can you fly a starship? Do you use a lightsaber? Are you made of metal? Do you have fur? Do you glow?
And here are a few mazes I found online. Click on the maze below to go to the actual page. If mom can’t print them out you can trace the way with your finger on the screen.
Renn, I am amazed at the talents and thoughtfulness of my friends in the cyber world. You are blessed to have so many wonderful people thinking of you (and your mom and family). My family is praying for you, too.
