Tim's time in VGH (Vancouver General Hospital)


Beautiful Vancouver from my hotel room. The 'Tim' of Tim Hortons shone into my bedroom every night.


ICU Vancouver General Hospital, Feb 09





'The team' - Lucy, Viv and Tim
Intubation tube removed from mouth 19.2.09




Moved from single room ICU into shared space.






Transfer from ICU to Step down Spinal Unit 28.2.09




The kiwis arrive in the spinal unit VGH.




Crazy and amazing friends drove 12 hrs from Fernie to visit Tim.




Phil arrives to support the crew ...






And extends his visit to be with Tim on his NZ 21st birthday.



Balloons miraculously arrive from 'the girls flat' in Dunedin.



Cousins Fiona (massage and relaxation) and Lucy (DJ)!!! attend to relaxation and entertainment



A spot of magic. Overnight snowfall just for us!




Every night I see the person in the orange sleeping bag, who sleeps on the footpath. Even when its snowing. Someone came one night and took them away - to a warm place I hope.



Tim progresses into the spinal unit gym, while we wait for word re our trip back home.




A wheelchair outing and a breath of fresh mountain air.
