Mila's surgery

This is what Sarah (mila's mom) just let us know:

Mila's open heart surgery is scheduled for tomorrow ( Wednesday, Feb 06 ) at 11:30am ( around there, at least ). Please send us your fondest wishes for a speedy recovery. If you send wishes by email, we will read them out loud to Mila while she is recovering in the ICU, and then post them on her wall to brighten up her room.

If you are a local and you'd like to come and visit, Mila is at the Stollery. You can call me directly at 780-504-7969 for her room number. We'd love visitors, but please, no flowers or balloons. ( hospital rules )" Stollery's offers a free service for friends & family wanting to send email well wishes to patients. The website is at:

http://www.capitalhealth.ca/HospitalsandHealthFacilities/Hospitals/StolleryChildrensHospital/SendingPatientsGreetings/HospitalMessenger.htm.

Staff receive the messages and print them off, seal them in an envelope and deliver the messages to the patient (the same as a card). Sarah would not need to check messages herself.
