Dear family and friends,

Contrary to what I would have done, i.e. escaping after the first week, Nathalie has been really patient and obedient and today it all paid off! Today we get to rejoice because she finally received her discharged from the hospital. What a sigh of joy and relief we all felt in the room when Dr. Melnychuk entered the room with the good news. I was so elated that I started doing the "Happy dance". Yes, yes, dancing is allowed in the hospital when patients get discharged!!! ;)

Oh the sight of relief!!!!!!!!!! I had envisioned this moment a while back and kept seeing Nathalie walking out of the hospital, happy to go home and that day is finally here. Visualizing pays off!!!

So from now on, the blog will be maintained by Nathalie, unless she wants me to follow up on something that I'm the only one that can do, but in all honesty, now that she's done her first post, she's a pro!!!

Thank you again for your constant support. It has meant the world to Nathalie (and I) and her family. We love you and appreciate your prayers on her behalf and all that you have done to make her 6‑weeks hospital stay more bearable. I am so glad to see that the faithful prayers of many have been answered.

I know the staff from the Montreal Jewish Hospital won't get to read this, but in the odd chance that this gets back to them, a million thanks to all the staff for making her stay more comfortable. There were so many nurses, nurses aid, bed's assistant, maintenance workers, etc. back at 8 North West that helped my dear Nathalie get back on her feet. All your little attentions have been greatly appreciated. Of course I cannot speak of the staff without mentioning the tireless efforts of Dr. Melnychuk, Nathalie's oncologist, who visits his patients EVERY SINGLE DAY without fail! If that's not dedication, I don't know what is!!!

So now I'm signing off after my 6‑weeks assignment. I've finally been fired! Between you and I, it's about time!!

This is Nadia, hoping I'll never have to be a correspondent again under such circumstances.

May God's blessings be upon each and everyone of you, now and always.

Much love,

Nadia

XOXO

P.S. Thank you for allowing me to be Nathalie's scribe during her stay in the hospital. I know she was strengthen by your constant support and it has helped during her recovery. I feel very blessed to share so many amazing friends with her and want you to know that you have touched my life in so many ways. I feel honored and blessed to call you friends.
