DOT 101 : TRANSFER

THE FINAL CHAPTER : A SPIRITUAL JOURNEY (Sept 2009 to Jan 2010)
At the Grotto of Our Immaculate Conception, in Lourdes   
Daniel (14+ years old) (Tuesday 15/9/2009) 
Day 6 in Lourdes … 
4th day in Lourdes Hospital ...
 
"What are our options?" Dad asked.
The doctor explained that we could either choose to fly You home accompanied by one of their doctors who would be able to take care of You on the flight, or to transfer You to Pao Hospital to see a neuro-specialist there. 
That specialist in fact, knew about your case as the doctor in Lourdes Hospital has been consulting him and updating him on your progress since You were admitted. 
There were no neuro-specialist in Lourdes Hospital.
How could we take You home in that state? 
It just did not feel right. 
In the end, it was obvious what we had to do. 
There was no other choice but to transfer You to Pao Hospital. We called Aunt Laura and told her what had happened. She came as soon as she could. 
Truly, she is the angel God sent to give us strength.

Someday, we'll be together again ...
