Leaving on a jet plane……
March 3rd, 2010
Hello there
Well this will be my last post from China.And what an amazing journey it has been for us both.It was worth every tear, penny and sleepless nights. I am so unbelievably grateful to all the staff here on the 8th floor. Dr Tony, my fav doc in the whole world!! Jerry and Andy who gave me hours of relaxation. The fabulous nurses who took such good care of me over the last 6 weeks. Not forgetting my new buddies Jack, Lucy, Alice, Amanda and Wendy. For making this a home away from home and giving us hours of laughter.
I have seen some amazing success stories since I have been here and I am glad we made the decision to come here.I had my tests done today downtown and it went remarkably well. Dr Tony will be around in the morning with the results but we know they are much better than the first ones.Will let ye know!!
Anyway, I just wanted to say a big thank you to everyone for keeping us company on this very difficult but amazing journey. We will miss all our new friends and all the fantastic parents and patients that we have met. But I am so happy to be going home to my beautiful sweet Abbeyknockmoy / Lenamore!!
I will be in touch as soon as I can about the eye results. Til irish time, zai jian!!!
Love and kisses
Vallie and Matt

Hi Valerie,
This has been a remarkable journey and a successful one. Everyone I meet that asks after you are trilled with the results that you have had and I am so, so, so delighted for you. Tell Dr Tony I said good bye, I feel that I know him…..
You must be filled with mixed emotions, looking forward to coming home, yet sad to leave the friends that you have made over there.
Well you must come home now and let other people know in Ireland how successful this has being for you. You were so brave to take the chance and everyone I know is delighted for you. Well done to Matthew too, this was not an easy journey for him either.
I am so looking forward to seeing you. Have a very safe journey and will see you soon. As I said on my last mail to you before you left, Matthew, mind our Vallie and bring her home safe to us.
Lots of Love
Bernie & clan xxxx
