A Day in Vancouver


Today, Kourtney and I were supposed to go into Vancouver for a dressing change at Children's. I was going to leave at 0630, but thanks to The Weathernetwork's traffic cam, Todd cancelled it for me. The weather in Abbotsford wasn't too bad, but in Vancouver it was miserable.

Unfortunately, we still had to go into Children's to pick up some meds for Kourtney. We even walked away with some jic (just in case) antibiotics valued at $1500, just in case Kourtney runs into any difficulties and we are snow bound in Abbotsford. Today we talked to one of the receptionists at Children's. She has been following our comings and goings for more than 10 years and congratulated us on staying sane. She jokingly asked if they were going to name a wing of the hospital after Kourtney. I don't really think I will ever comprehend how Kourtney's story has been so far reaching just at Children's Hospital.

After 1 1/2 hours of waiting for meds, phone calls and prescriptions we went to beautiful Stanley Park which was covered with more than 12" of fresh snow. We took the miniature train ride through the forest and took in an amazing display of Christmas lights.
