So Kane wants to write (another) book… As you have probably gathered the setting is at the hospital, in this case the Alberta Children’s Hospital. Mom: “Who are the characters?”Kane: “Me, you and the doctors…and nurses…every one of them.” Mom: “Why are we writing the book?”Kane: “For children and cause I’m making a little bookshop.”Continue reading “Together – A Day at the Hospital”

Tell Your Story Together
Kane and I tell our healthcare story together through photography. At this stage of the game, for Kane, I think it’s something fun to do with mom, something to pass the time at hospital appointments. For me, it’s how I manage the nerves and feelings that come up around those same hospital appointments. Photography isContinue reading “Tell Your Story Together”
Hello, Alberta Children’s Hospital
Last week was Kane’s first cardiology appointment at the Alberta Children’s Hospital in Calgary. We have been regular attendees at the Stollery Children’s Hospital in Edmonton for the last 7 years, but with our move to Canmore comes a new hospital and a lot of new learning. So we brought our cameras and headed overContinue reading “Hello, Alberta Children’s Hospital”

Three weeks post surgery and things with Kane’s heart are looking good and we areContinue reading “Iron Kane”

Telling Our Story
Thursday was Kane’s cardiology appointment. As many of you know, I tend to get a little worked up before this appointment. But not this time! This time I have had so many “shiny” things happening, related to both education and photography that I didn’t even have a chance to freak out. One of those shinyContinue reading “Telling Our Story”
Moments that Matter – Hospital Life
It should come as no surprise that I was more than a little disappointed to be told that I could not take photographs in any space other than the public waiting area when we went for Kane’s MRI. So here is a small slice of what Kane’s MRI experience was like from the point ofContinue reading “Moments that Matter – Hospital Life”
