What’s new?

Apparently, our website “Hope for Sébastien” is down. I want to clarify here that the matter is out of our control and is a problem with the website hosting service. I’d recommend bookmarking to this blog directly so that when our trusty friend (Hooster) has a cold, you can bypass it entirely.

Sébastien returned to Toronto on a commercial flight Thursday, July 24th. His infection had been cleared here in Winnipeg and he left in relatively good health. Jasmina and David were worried that he could start bleeding again, and in such an event, the hospital here wouldn’t have the staff necessary to deal with the problem. No offense, Winnipeg. Toronto, with its GIFT team, is simply used to the routine.

Since his return to Toronto, Sébastien hasn’t had any major bleeds. On August 20 or 21st, he’ll undergo a capsule endoscopy. (Another excellent explanation here.) He’ll also be the youngest patient to experiment the procedure and although Jasmina is a little nervous about it, she’s quick to find the positive saying that whatever Sébastien has to go through, it will be helpful for the transplant patients after him.

But before then, Jasmina and David will be celebrating their 5th wedding anniversary on the 16th. (Yup, sometimes David’s flights to Toronto are purely romantic!) Feel free to wish them all the best in the comments!
