佳宁 11月24日日记
我身体一般情况还好，医生说这几天不要打针，等细胞低到一定程度再作处理。生病后我好比一个犯人坐在监狱里，我每天尽量做得最好，好缩短坐在监狱里的时间，我是多么渴望回到那无拘无束的花花世界，现在那些都成了我美好的记忆。

Doctor said I didn’t need to do the injection until the blood cells get too low. Staying in the hospital is no better than imprisoned in the jail. I performed my best behavior in order to quickly get out of here. I am so eager to be back to the colorful world which recalls my precious memory.

黄佳宁 11月25日 病房日记
我读书以后妈妈开始打工了，那时候工资很低，妈妈也经常加班，爸爸每年都要出去打工，只有过年的时候才能回家住二十来天。我小时候特别爱感冒，只要感冒我就咳嗽，一咳嗽就就是支气管或肺炎，妈妈真是辛苦，经常带我去看医生，一有空就去把厂里耽误的活补回来。如果加班的话就由80来岁的奶奶照看我，妈妈不回来的话，我是绝对不敢睡觉的，我拍奶奶死掉。以前大人们都说小孩子一天天长大，老人年纪大了睡着了醒不过来了。回想以前我太坏了，每次晚上9点多等妈妈回来才送奶奶回去睡觉。虽然以前熬过很多夜，但我有奶奶陪着，还可以看看书，写写字，看看电视，画画，剪纸。。。。生病后和过去相比，我觉得以前幸福多了，现在是有好多事想做却做不了，无奈只能躺在床上想想，真的好想回到以前，不过我肯定不会再“琢”（折）磨我奶奶了。
