One step closer to home

Gary's preparing for his next big move, which will bring him one hour closer to home.

The timing of the move has yet to be determined, but staff at the Toronto East General Hospital are already getting ready to move Gary back to Royal Victoria Hospital in Barrie. In the 12 weeks he's been in a respiratory program down in Toronto, Gary's show remarkable improvement, doing up to six hours at a time off the breathing apparatus. His recovery is now slated to continue in Barrie.

In the past few days, things continued to look good for Gary as he passed yet another swallowing test, and was healthy enough to take more trips outside to take in the warm spring weather. We're told that the hospital staff at Barrie, who have been following his progress steadily even after he initially left, are excited to see him return.

Stay tuned as we follow the next step of Gary's journey back home to Muskoka.
