Hi Tim (and Family)!!

Hope you've arrived in Boston and are somewhat settled in. I had hoped to see you before you left BMC but obviously that didn't happen. I'm glad to hear that you are keeping a positive attitude....that will help you just as much if not more than any medical care you can receive.

So what do you think of Spaulding? I've heard incredible things about their program..you're very fortunate to be able to go there. I took care of a 23 yr. old man at BMC while I was in nursing school who had been mentally and physically disabled due to a motor vehicle accident. Although he would have tremendously benefitted from going to Spaulding, his insurance company refused to pay for it. Hard to believe isn't it?

I wish you all the best while you're there and when you get back home. If there is anything I can do don't hesitate to ask. For now, please know that you are in our DAILY thoughts as you face a lot of hard work and process emotions that can be extremely difficult to handle. Hang in there, though. Keep in touch.

-Joanne
