Assessment Day 1

So today came and went, and I survived it. I am thrilled that it's over, and it was not a bad day at all. (besides being up at 5am) Considering how I worked it up in my head. I guess expecting the worst always works like that.

I am tired, and the Blood Gas hurt, I mean HURT!! But hey, it's not the first blood gas, and not the last I will have. The staff were very nice, and the hospital new, spacious and beautiful, which is such a step up from St.Mike's!

This weekend my close friend Melissa gave me the Toronto Life that featured the '50 Reasons to Love Toronto Now' article. It was so fitting since this was my big assessment week. I have attached the article below, "reason number 3: We Save Lives". Hopefully you guys can click on that article and read what it says. It talks about the amazing job Toronto General Hospital has done in contributing to lung transplant education and medicine. I mentioned the article in a previous post, but did not have it on me to attach. So I thought I would scan it today:

So this is my shout out you can call it, to Toronto General Hospital for welcoming me today as a patient. A place that hopefully, I will visit for years, and years, and years.

As we move forward through this time in our lives, as we go to the hopspital visits, as we face the fears and the possibilities of transplant, we are well aware that we are not alone. That not that far away, is a lady and her family that are doing such an incredible thing for us, words cannot describe. Making sure that our little baby girl is safe and growing. Without our surrogate Beth my fight would not mean what it does. Beth, we are 68 days away, and we have no words for what you means to us. Thanks You!
