Dear Piotr, Aleida, Oscar, Tyler, Michael, Armando,
Happy New Year! We have waited too long to thank you. As our lives finally return to some normality here in the US, we cannot forget the late summer of 2023 and the professional, kind, and caring way in which you worked to resolve our transfer to the Portland hospital from Kraków.
My husband, G.S., is doing well. He is walking but still has some physical therapy to conclude. However, when we arrived in Portland, Maine on August 17, 2024, he was still very sick despite having been released from the hospital and given an all-clear. He spent an additional week in hospital on arrival, then two weeks in a rehabilitation center and then, another week in the hospital here in Bar Harbor in late September. He finally came home in October to a place where he could try and get his life together and become himself again.
Thank you to the whole staff for sincerely and diligently working as a team. Your direction and organization in Kraków were impeccable. There were a few times when we thought the flight would not happen soon enough. But you made it happen soon enough and kept us in the loop during the process. T. and I never felt that we had been abandoned. When Piotr left for vacation, the team pitched in seamlessly. Piotr, Aleida, Oscar, Tyler, Armando, Michael, thank you. The depth of our appreciation is profound.
Shane and Tony, the medical professionals, who shepherded us through the hassles and logistics of getting to the airport and then, the long air journey with a very sick, non-responsive, tired patient were masters at keeping us moving in the right direction. Their kindness and humor were greatly appreciated. Their service was beyond our expectations. With spirit and diligence, they got us through the long night. We hope that you can get this message to them as we do not have their email addresses.
Greg's accident, hospitalization and medical air transfer were a remarkable and dramatic milestone in our lives which we will remember for always. You will be in our thoughts and our prayers for a lifetime.
We hope the new year brings you happiness and health and heart's desires.
