Contacting Team Ronan

Ali and Joe - thanks for thinking of us in the middle of the night and sharing your thoughts. You know that anyone of us are willing to take a call no matter the time, if you want company in the wee hours of the morning.
I thought I would post the address of the hospital here in case anyone wants to send something. Just put Ronan's name on it or the room #.
IWK Health Centre
5850 University Avenue
P.O. Box 9700
Halifax, Nova Scotia
B3K 6R8
Room 619
The phone number is 1-902-470-8888 if you call from outside Canada. This number works from Canada (I believe) 1-888-470-5888. Just ask for room 619.
love, Steph

    Thinking of you guys. Hope today is a good day out there. It's cold here in Carleton Place but the weather folks say it will reach 10 degrees soon! Love the picture of Ronan :) His big smile looks so much like your smile Ali (his eyes) and I can tell he has the Boyd hair :) There was an old photo floating around years ago in Mom and Cameron's house. I believe it was Joe's Dad (can't be sure) but I remember how much Joe resembled the photo. It would be neat to see it again and compare it to Ronan at this age because I bet Joe's Dad was the same age in the photo. I haven't seen a very recent pic of Malcolm, do they look a lot alike? Are the boys both playing the violin? I remember Ronan having one when he was very little. I imagine they both have the same talent as their folks. Well, I will be following this blog and checking in on you all. Take care today. Love Steph

    Hi guys...miss all of you and I have been thinking of you every second. The girls have popped letters in the mail today, hope you get them soon. There have been lots of talk about fundraisers and what we can do in that way...but I will talk to you about that more later. I love the picture of Ronan, he is so sweet and give him a hug for me. Talk to you soon.
