People are being so generous!  So many are coming forward with encouraging words, it is like a boost!

My dear husband Michael left for Toronto this afternoon.  He is to be seen again for further assessment by the transplant team at Toronto General.  Could he possibly end up being a donor for one of the twins???  Wouldn't this be amazing?

Please make note that my husband is to appear on TV on Tuesday Jan 20 on Canada AM (CTV network) around 8h30 Ontario time.

There is also an article in Thoi Bao this week about us.  Thoi Bao is the weekly Vietnamese newspaper from Toronto-Montreal-Vancouver.

Between the general public, the Military community and the Vietnamese community, the word is getting around!

Daddy Being Assessed

My husband left for Toronto today for a preliminary assessment to be a live liver donor for one of the twins: one day of bloodwork, x-rays, EKG and a few more tests to see if he qualifies for the next 3-4 days round of tests.  Several doors to cross.  Let's hope he makes it to the next round!
