Hi all,
Can anyone in the know please make sure this message finds it's rightful recipient?
I had the pleasure last night of Angel-flighting home a wonderful 20 month old little boy and his mum to Mildura last night and Lisa told us a story of what had happened during their two week stint at the Royal Children's and I offered to pass on her thanks.
About a week ago (she's not 100% certain which day), they were down near the helipad watching the helicopter and the crew said hello . He's got Luekemia and has no immune system at the moment and so they decided not to take up the offer of a look around the chopper even though watching its comings/goings was the highlight of his stay. The crew asked which window he was watching from.
So takeoff, the chopper rose to the 6th floor, hovered momentarily while the pilot waved, turned 90 degrees and 'dipped his lid' while all on board waved then completed the turn so the paramedics could wave too before heading off.
Lisa wanted to let the crew know that her son saw them and was over the moon with excitement. She genuinely believes that that moment marked the turning of the corner for this round of treatment which culminated in them being released yesterday and finally getting home about 2 weeks later than they'd planned to.
From Lisa, her son (and me), thanks to that crew!
