So welcome to Ronan’s blog. Sit, read, cry, and vow to fight this fight with Ronan, Malcolm, Ali and Joe. And please leave a few words of encouragement with a Comment.

Round 3 - Room 616

Halifax. IWK. Room 616. Ronan was admitted this morning at 8:30am. We had an entourage with us today...14 people in our room at one time (all family)+ the not-so-skinny-this-time-friend.
Richard, Helen, Blaise and Fiona drove from Sudbury to see Ronan - Blaise the mobile is awesome and Fiona I'm going to buy some tape tomorrow to get your drawings on the walls - Steph, Bill and Zeta arrived yesterday from Williamstown, MA via Montreal, Jim and Sam from Hampton and Lydia from SJ. We're missing Cameron and family and Karen and Dave for the complete Boyd family reunion! Maybe for Lydia's birthday??

So far, so good!

    Hey Ali, Hope everything goes well. Cameron and I are missing our family too. Cate is away in St. Bart's of all places with a friend and Duncan is in London, On with his friends. I just came back from a week at Steph's with 12 people in the house. Sounds like Ronan, you, Joe and Malcolm have plenty of Boyd's to keep you company. Happy New Year and keep posting.
