In your words…
I am writing to express my deepest gratitude for the exceptional care and support provided to my son, Declan, during his stay at the hospital. Words cannot fully capture the appreciation and relief we felt knowing he was in such capable and caring hands.
To the Emergency Department, thank you for your swift and attentive response during our initial visit. Your professionalism and immediate action made a world of difference during a very stressful time.
To the Pediatric Department, thank you for your unwavering dedication to Declan’s well-being. Your compassionate care and attention to detail helped us navigate his treatment with confidence and hope.
To the Neurology Department, your expertise and thoroughness were invaluable. Your careful monitoring and detailed explanations reassured us and ensured Declan received the best possible care.
Every member of the hospital staff who interacted with Declan showed us what true dedication and compassion look like.
Thanks!
A huge piece of who I am is owed to the care and determination of the MCH and their will to help me live the most healthy and fulfilled life possible.
I was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis that spread into Crohn’s Disease, and started years of excruciating stomach pain, severe weight loss, nose tube and IV feedings and days/nights filled with sleeping on the toilet and confined to a hospital room.
In 2008, I underwent emergency surgery and I was given my Ostomy. For 15 years, I hid it due to being embarrassed and fearing the stigma and what others would say.
It took me years to learn to love my body and re build my confidence. Last year, I decided to share my story; I’ve embarked on a journey of advocating for Crohn’s Disease and Ostomates and fighting for representation within the fashion industry.
The compassion and care I received at the MCH was invaluable during the toughest moments of my childhood; thank you for all you have done, I wouldn’t be me without you.
My wife (Angela) and I wanted to express our immense gratitude for the service, care, and dedication he received during our 2-day stay.
On March 13th, 2024, my son Jacob (9 years old) had extreme abdominal pain, and we immediately headed to the Montreal Children’s Hospital. Jacob ended up receiving what we would describe, as the best care and experience we could have ever imagined during this emotional and strenuous time. We don’t have all the names of the nurses, technicians, support staff, and doctors who guided us during our stay. But thank you so much (a special thank you to Doctor Turnbull for your words of encouragement to Jake). We wanted the entire department and every member to receive our feedback and, especially, our appreciation. Finally, during our extended stay, as time can seem long, Jacob and I started to create a personal project of his first-ever book to pass the time. Jacob brainstormed and read out loud and dictated his story idea to me. As staff members walked into our room, they learned of what we were doing and took it upon themselves to ask questions about his book idea, inspire conversation with Jacob, and help encourage and support him with his cool project. We believe this also helped make his stay even more pleasurable. Therefore, as he promised a couple of staff members that when we finish his book, we will send your department a copy of his final project, and in that spirit, we have attached his recently finished cover artwork for his book called “Robo-Komodo: Dawn of the Goat.” Thank you again to everyone at the Children’s, and please, if you could pass along our heartfelt thank you on behalf of Angela and myself, This first experience at the hospital and scary time as parents were made special and safe because of all of you.
