A Maple leaf's hockey game at the Air Canada Centre and meeting Brian Price an Olympic Gold medalist with Canada's Men's Eights were highlights of Melodia's Week. Dispite the fact that we were in the hospital I have to say it was a good week.
At the hockey game (tickets generously donated to the Sick Kids Foundation who offered them to Melodina) we found that Melodina had to climb up four steps and then down a long staircase in order to get to our 5th row seats. The game was fun although the Leaf lost. When we were leaving Melodina and I had to climb back up the steep staircase. She wondered at how easy it was compared to the day before at her coaches training. She re-discovered that training gets easier with each workout - or at least you can do more with the same effort. Melodina has been walking around the hospital each day this week talking to patients, nurses and doctors as well as getting her exercise.
Today Brian Price came and visited. Brian is a member of Canada's Men's Eights who won gold in Bejing. Brian was also a patient at Sick Kids with Lukemia a few years ago. Inspirational eh! Like I said it was a good week despite being in the hospital.
