Editor: We would like to take this opportunity to express our gratitude and appreciation to those of you at 91Ô­´´ Memorial Hospital who assisted our family, during our son’s recent stay for a burst appendix.

Never have we had to experience firsthand what and who are all involved in an emergency situation.  To everyone from admitting, emergency pediatrics and their doctors and nurses, the porters, the X-ray technicians, our wonderful surgeon, Dr. Shete, and his equally wonderful support staff of nurses, anaesthesiologists and pain doctors, our pediatric doctor, and housekeeping — we can’t thank you enough for taking such good care of our son, and answering our hundreds of questions.

You gave us peace of mind, through your friendliness and humour.  This experience has opened our eyes to this profession and how committed you all are and how lucky we all are to have such a great hospital in our community.

Our son is well on his road to recovery — there’s no slowing down a 10-year-old and his passion for hockey. Thank you again.

The Zazula family,

91Ô­´´
