Teacher Sarah Adair walked into the hospital for her first day of work this school year and saw her former student, fresh from a checkup of his new heart.
The boy stayed in the Montreal Children’s Hospital for a year as he waited for a heart transplant. Adair was with him every day: “I was his Grade 2 teacher for the whole school year,” she said. Then this summer, he got a new heart.
Adair is one of five teachers who go bedside-to-bedside at the Montreal Children’s Hospital, providing young patients who come to the hospital for cancer treatments, dialysis and other regimens that call for a longer stay, with hour-long sessions focus on learning rather than treatment.
