Thank you everyone for your kind thoughts, best wishes, support, and prayers for Hlne.

We appreciate them and will pass them on to Hlne. Please feel free to continue sending comments to the live blog and Facebook, plus sending tweets ... every message helps keep us strong. As Hlne recuperates from her double lung transplant operation we would like to take the necessary time to concentrate on her recovery. During this time we will not be giving any media interviews. When Hlne has sufficiently recovered we will consider all media requests. Until that time we ask for your support in respecting our request for privacy. We would also like to take this opportunity to thank the donor's family who made the organ donation so that Hlne could live. We are grateful to you for your generousity. Hlne will, as we will, honour and care for your gift forever. We would also like to thank the staff at Toronto General Hospital who have been working around the clock to care for Hlne, and who have made the gift of life reality for so many patients. We are grateful for their dedication and exceptional care.
