Jim is presently in the best of hands at the Ottawa Heart Institute. They are continuing to perform tests to make sure he is responding to treatment, but also to be ready for the next steps which could include an artificial heart. Though Jim is getting the best treatment possible, it’s still very difficult to be in hospital and even more so when you don’t know when you will be allowed to go home.

Jim, like 74 others in Ontario alone, needs a new heart. We know it’s coming soon, but the decision to give the gift of life is in your hands now. The hope and faith that Jim, Marah and family have in you is incredible – and inspiring.
