I telephoned Kyle's home this morning. I spoke with his Mum, Valerie. Kyle has been out of hospital for a week, but has basically been confined to bed since he got home. He was asleep when I rang (7 p.m. Canada time) and Valerie wasn't sure whether he may have to return to hospital later in the evening, as he was having some medical problems. She had taken him for a walk during the day - his first outing - and he'd enjoyed the fresh air.

Valerie stressed how grateful she was for the thoughts and gifts of the DBIS community - that it meant a lot to Kyle. After talking with her, it's the least we can do. My life is good and I'm exceedingly thankful for that...
