Back At Base Camp

While 'Love Is Not Rare' was about to air for the first time yesterday, we were scurrying to pack Vera's hospital bag.

I would have sat with Vera next to the radio to savour the moment of hearing it play, but I guess life happened in opposites yet again.

I called a cab and caught the song on air just as it arrived.

We're back at our second home and 'base camp' - the Ronald McDonald Family Room.

Vera is in the good care of a medical team we trust, and getting the support she needs to get better. It's always a relief to have capable hands take over the medical care.

It was a nice surprise, to browse through the 2016 Ronald McDonald House Charities Annual Report to see an article I'd contributed back then - from Vera's blog (The House That Supports Us). Vera was much smaller just 2 years back.

The common cold that we get once or twice a year sends medically fragile kids like Vera straight to hospital for medical support. We bounce back from a viral infection in 5-7 days. These kids take 2-4 weeks.

Thank you all for your well-wishes for Vera's recovery. It will just well, not be as speedy.
