On February 2 my lovely daughter Lila was born at 7 pounds 11 ounces.  Iris and I (along with the rest of our family) immediately fell completely in love with her.

Lila was born with a heart defect called transposition of the great arteries.  My deepest thanks go out to the brilliant and caring staff at Mount Sinai and Sick Kids hospitals who gave Lila a tremendous amount of care from the moment of birth, performed a flawless surgery, and are now helping her (and us) through these last stages of recovery.

Thank-you to everyone who has been emailing and calling over the last week, your support has meant the world to us. Iris and I can’t wait to bring Lila home and introduce you all to her.
