Off to Toronto

Wednesday evening I flew to Toronto to visit with Austin and Lindsay, during Austin's stay at SickKids Hospital. Following successful surgery on Christmas Day, 2006 to remove a malignant brain tumor, Austin has been undergoing radiation and chemotherapy treatments. He is currently making his way through round 2 of a scheduled 4 rounds of chemo.
During my first day, I spent about 6 hours with them in an isolation room, as Austin recovers from his second stem cell transplant. This procedure leaves him with a compromised immune system, so special precautions are taken to diminish the chance of acquiring an infection. It's necessary to go through a special decontamination process before entering this room. Lindsay was able to arrange hi-speed Internet service in the room, and you can see her busy taking care of business with the laptop. Meanwhile, Austin is playing a video game with his handheld, and I'm working on a very difficult Sudoku puzzle. Thought I'd snap a couple of pictures with my Sony Clie PDA.
