Y your Eyes on / Burn victim airlifted to U.S. By Jeff Mitchell Port Perry Star A patient who sus- tained extensive burns wound up being airlifted to an American hospital Thursday, after doctors in Port Perry were unable to locate a burn unit bed for him in Ontario. The 52-year-old man, who according to a source sustained burns to his tal"s burn unit had no beds available, said Ms Robinson. The search was widened, to include hos- pitals in Hamilton and Sudbury, but both of those units were filled to capacity as well. Finally, a bed was found at Eerie County Hospital in Buffalo, and the patient was put into a helicopter and readied for transfer. But before take-off occurred, doctors learned that bed had been taken as well. "(The patient) waited another 15 minutes in the helicopter while doctors tried to locate another bed," said Ms Robinson. Finally, a bed was found at the Rochester hospital. The airlift to New York State began at 1:30 p.m. Ms Robinson could not provide an update on the patient's condition Friday. "When (the patient) was transferred, he was in serious but stable condi- tion," she said. Local police and fire crews were not called upon to respond to the incident.

The transfer to the American hospital had to be made because burn unit beds at three med- ical centres in Ontario were full, said a spokesperson with Lakeridge Health Corp. "It was just kind of a fluke that there were no burn unit beds available in the province," said Lakeridge spokesperson Linda Robinson. Ms Robinson said the patient, who has not been identified, arrived at hos- pital in Port Perry at 6:05 a.m. Thursday. He was stabilized, and the search for a burn unit bed was begun by attending physicians Steve Russell and Kevin Smith.

To all our friends and neighbours ~ just to try and express our thanks and gratitude is next to impossible, as the support and generosity was incredible, over- powering, never ending and heart warming. There are just too many to thank for the flowers, cards, phone calls, endless visits, words of love and support, donations of food and donations to various charities and family in Robert's name. It is much too difficult to keep track of everyone who helped in some way to alleviate our pain and sorrow, but we would like to recognize and thank the fol- lowing people: the staff at the Port Perry Hospital, the staff at Low and Low Funeral Home and a special thank-you to Sandie and Claude Jonah and Kate and Grant MacDonald. Thank you to Reverend Dan for the beautiful service and his words of comfort and to the pallbearers ~ Ronald Stephens, Jim Goodwin, Stephen Brake, Lauren Woodhouse, Shane Smale, Robert Gibson and Mike Bosgraaf. The love and support we received will remain forever in our hearts! "God is love and all who live in love live in God and God lives in them". "I'll lend you for a little time a child of Mine." He said, "For you to love the while he lives and mourn when he is dead It may be six or seven years, or twenty-two or three, But will you, 'till I call him back, take care of him for me? He'll bring bis charms to gladden you, and shall his stay be brief You'll have his lovely memories as solace for your grief.

Now, will you give him all your love, nor think the labor vain, Nor hate Me when I call to bring him home to Me again?" I fancied that I heard them say: Dear Lord, thy will be done! "or all the joy Thy child shal bring, the risk of grief we'll run. We'll shelter him with tenderness, we'll love him while we may, And for the happiness we've known, forever grateful stay. But should you, Father, call for him much sooner than we've planned, We'll brave the bitter grief that comes, and try to understand." Ken and Rosalind Stephens, twin brother Ronald and wife Jen.
