recent photos

loading Ford into the jet:
(he traveled in the "isolette" and as there are only 3 seats on the small plane, which were taken by the two flight paramedics and Kevin the cardiologist, i spent the flight strapped to a stretcher, which took all the glamour out of the private jet experience).


fueling up in Winnipeg (yes the plane is so small, a full tank only gets you half way):

getting comfy in his new room at SickKids:

we were lucky (?) enough to "score" the Maple Leafs themed room at the Ronald McDonald House. here is headboard-hockey-guy #1:
and #2:

you'll note the hockey stick curtain rod no doubt. the coat rack is also made of hockey sticks, the side table is meant to look like a giant puck stuck in the wall, there's plexi-glass attached to the walls, and the shelving unit is meant to look like the back of a zamboni - which is achieved by the word "zamboni" painted across it. various other poorly done murals of hockey players and fans alike adorn the walls.

it guarantees we won't doddle in the mornings, eager for less jarring surroundings. it makes the ICU seem serene! it also gets the hockey night in canada theme stuck in your head every time you open the closet...

  2. Hopefully you can 'score' an adult room soon - maybe something with a spa theme??

    Thinking of all of you and can't imagine a better place for Ford to be..

    Much love, Becca & Alan

  3. Whew! I'm so glad to know that all of you are safely through the long flight east and more or less snugly settled in TO. Ford looks warm and relaxed in his room. And it's good to know you've got digs right close to the hospital, Christa & Nick, although your photos and description of the "hockey dreamland suite" you were checked into suggest--uh-oh, art-school parents' purgatory!! Be on the look-out for fellow lodgers wearing hockey jerseys, and maybe you can swap your way outta there. In the meantime, is plexiglass amenable to soap-base painting or some such??
    I expect the three of you have had a busy and tiring Monday, and are off in dreamlands of your own design by now. The 3CU looks and sounds like a good place for you to be. All the best to you there, and lots of love.
