• #BCTF head Lambert says "We're non-partisan" as she explains how they will try to bring down the gov't. Um, what? #
  • Vancouver Island|Nanaimo|Lantzville: Missing 10 yr old http://t.co/Wp42zAlb Please call 911 if seen! #
  • Missing girl: Grace Plumley 10, blond hair w green stripe 119 lbs. Gone in night. Lantzville. Nanaimo. Call 911 if seen. #
  • RT @KimPlumley: She is FOUND!!! Thank god! Thank you all!!!!!! (NB: This is in reference to missing girl tweets few minutes ago) #
  • Help me out Tweeps: Where's a good place to buy a lapdesk that Aidan can use in the hospital bed? How about a book holder? #
  • Thanks, everyone, for lap desk advice. Michaels, Staples, Chapters will be checked-out. #sickboy #
  • Oh joy, talking about tipping On The Coast. I entirely resent tipping, doubly after this Globall story. #
  • Here's a thought: bake the real cost of your staff into your prices, enforce a no-tipping policy. #otc @CBCStephenQuinn #
  • Yes. RT @vancitychic: @AnthonyFloyd Really, You'd pay 20% more at least on all restaurant food just so you don't have to leave a tip? #
  • .@vancitychic No. I expect exceptional service all the time. If I don't get it, I won't come back. #
  • If restaurant workers don't bitch about big tips, then they have no right to bitch about no tips. #GiveAndTake #tipping #
  • The handover is complete and the night shift is now on duty. #sickboy #lifeatthehospital #
  • So Aidan's teacher (FI), when asked for some work for him to do in the hospital told us to just go to in-hospital resource centre (not FI) #
  • I am so unimpressed with this woman. Between her staunch BCTF bullshit and apparent disregard for the kids, it's crazy. #
  • So, time to talk to the principal, I guess. Nothing like being "that parent". #
  • Yay! Quinlan is now sick too! Puking child means he can't visit the hospital, spend time with other kids. #sickboys #
  • No, not me. But it's an interesting read #homeopathy #
  • RT @barbjustason: Cycling Accident — Beloved teacher mourned http://t.co/A7Tmy1Mv #bikeyvr #
  • They told me that family rounds would come talk to me while Aidan was at "school". 2 hrs later, no rounds. I guess I'll be having lunchfast. #
  • Air hockey! @ BC Children's Hospital http://t.co/c7DmSeJf #
  • Food, finally. For cafeteria food, it's not half-bad. #
  • Had to reinsert #sickboy #039;s IV for a third time today. Fortunately the IV tech got it in the first try. Somewhat traumatic for all involved. #
  • Me: But how did the air get in the IV line? Nurse: <chews gum> Dunno <shrug> don't worry about it. ~ Grr, don't like the 5am #brushoff #
  • And the parade of health workers starts anew. It's a new day, a new shift, a new nurse. #sickboy #
  • It amazes me. We've been here a week now – 14 shifts – and only had a repeat nurse once. #
  • Due to the IV in his foot, Aidan is using a wheelchair to get around. Good thing he still has a sore hand — he'd be racing in the halls! #
  • Also, big props to Melissa, Aidan's physiotherapist. She really "gets" him. #sickboy #
  • The view from here. Where here is the cafeteria. @ BC Children's Hospital http://t.co/UXOrfAFU #
  • Shift change! Home for the first time in a couple of days. Nap time now for me and Quinlan. #sickboy #
  • RE: Ads on CBC Radio 2, etc: Ezra and Sun Media are going to have a field day complaining about public radio competing for ads w/ taxpayer $ #
  • Happy Birthday to fellow Aries @tjrossignol ! #
  • It's interesting to see who pays attention to tweets, and when. Interesting, indeed. #
  • Sorry: That "interesting who pays attention" tweet wasn't a complaint about anyone or tweets. It was truly a "hmmmm, interesting" #
  • Remember when I nuked my backup drive at work? 2 months later my home machine has finally finished rsync'ing to new backup. 300 GB -> slow! #
  • "AMS Block Party" That's what Arts County Fair became, huh? #ubc #otc #
  • No one told the new traffic guy that #otc is off tomorrow!? @CBCStephenQuinn @Lazin_Ryder #
  • That's no (mini) moon, it's 1000 (mini) space stations! #
  • Just had a nice visit from @DanielOong. Aidan gets a kick out of meeting the people of twitter! #
  • Apparently @DanielOong is worried about seeing @604Heather in a professional setting because "She's always right". I lol'd. A lot. #
  • .@aidanfloyd just spent 30 minutes trash-talking the friendly med student. Sounds like an epic air hockey game on Sunday. #
  • Wide awake as #sickboy tosses and turns in his hospital bed. Gah. #
  • Boo! #bikeyvr RT @BLAH_CITY: Plans for bike/pedestrian network connecting Stanley Park and False Creek postponed http://t.co/1YqNHgrn #
  • Racing around the deserted halls @ BC Children's Hospital http://t.co/1l16p800 #
  • A whale of a tale @ BC Children's Hospital http://t.co/hTXS4Vlb #
  • Switched over and another day and a night at home begins. #sickboy #
  • Oh good, I don't have to feel guilt about staying inside now. #aprilshowers #yvrwx #
  • The hail, however, doesn't make me want to go outside in the least. #yvrwx #
  • Checking out THINGS in the garden. http://t.co/UMM4vdZP #
  • The plural of "you" is *in fact* "youse". #
  • Look, I get it, not many politicians have beards, but _so much_ analysis over Tom Mulcair's beard? http://t.co/bH5lO6xs #beardcore #cdnpoli #
  • Interesting batteries-included bike jacket: http://t.co/KGnc8fYY Wonder if we'll ever see them in NA? (via @engadget) #bikeyvr #
  • We've been shuffled to a quieter, out of the way room in the ward. Good sign! Hopefully we're not here long. #sickboy #
  • Uh, say what? @ Please Mum http://t.co/2khpD4Th #
  • Sigh. Regression in #sickboy #039;s infection means more surgery this afternoon and an extended hospital stay. #
  • Not as urgent as last time, but when the decision is made, they move quickly: Aidan's in surgery right now, few hrs before any more updates. #
  • Aidan's out of surgery. They found infection in the bones of his wrist. He will require at least another 6 weeks of IV antibiotics. #sickboy #
  • At this pt, we don't know how much will be done through outpatient services, but we think it's likely we'll be living here for 1 more wk min #
  • So, it's a long road ahead for all of us. Thanks for the ongoing support. #sickboy #
  • Other than no feeling in his bad hand (due to a nerve block) Aidan's doing pretty good post-op. Supper & arguing abt prime numbers! #sickboy #
  • .@DanielOong Well, it's not so much arguing as trying to figure out the factors to see if a number is prime. It's a good distraction :) #
  • Cot in the new room is actually bearable! Looking forward to a good night's sleep. Unhappy customer next door will make that challenging. #
  • Pretty restless night. #sickboy #
  • Just had a nice visit w/ @_cuddlefish_ & Jr Fish. They had a #geocache published for @AidanFloyd while they were here! http://t.co/SK2iTdJ2 #
  • Not easy to do, but he's persistent! @ BC Children's Hospital http://t.co/pxvpUV6y #
  • In it, no? #
