We had the pleasure of working with Matt Regush and his associates while our daughter was going through some life threatening health issues. In order for you to understand I will have to give you a little background on the situation. Our daughter Tina was diagnosed with CTEPH (chronic thromembolic pulmonary hypertension). It's a condition that blood clots filled up her lungs and her heart was working to hard in order to push oxygen through her body. She required a double lung transplant in order to survive. Her and her husband uprooted their life from Ottawa to move to Toronto in order to be close to the hospital. In November/2015 our daughter had finally hit a point where she needed to be put on life support, a lung by-pass machine called the nova lung. We live in Sudbury, so you can be sure when we heard the news; we needed to get to Toronto fast. We also needed a place to stay quick, a place like home and we were not too sure how long the duration of our stay would be.
We are a close family, therefor we also needed rooms or condos at a moments notice for her brothers, aunts or grandparents. My wife, Lorraine found the Sky View Suites on the AIRBNB website. Our first stay was for five days in a two bedroom condo on Blue Jay Way. Matt brought us our keys for the unit right to the hospital. We were so amazed by that service because our daughter was in surgery and we did not want to leave the hospital at that time. Tina's surgery did not go so well, she had to return to the operating room to stop her from bleeding. So her brothers from Ottawa headed to Toronto the next day. I called up Matt and explained the situation and he was able to find them a two bedroom condo with a pull out couch. My youngest son has three children and it was a feeling of home for them, a feeling of comfort. We were able to take turns going to the hospital and we were able to have our meals together as a family. If we had the luxury of laundry facilities right in the condo, which comes in handy when you have young children. We were a 10 minute ride to the hospital. We could take our car or just jump in a taxi. There is everything you need around the condos from grocery stores to restaurants to coffee shops and even a Home Sense.
Tina finally stabilized and her brothers returned home on the Monday. We packed up our condo on Tuesday morning and headed to the hospital to be told that it looked like they had a match for Tina. We slept at the hospital that night waiting to see if the surgery was a go. Tina received her new lungs on December 2nd at 5:30 in the morning. I contacted Matt again with a request for a condo at moments notice, This time we required a three bedroom because we had extend family staying with us to help us through the long journey ahead.. And believe me...It was a long journey. Tina went through so many complications. Matt was so understanding and sympathetic to our needs. He brought the key to hospital a second time for us. In saying of all of this, having a place to call home for those few weeks made it a little easier to go through this experience. The condo was spacious and cozy for five people to live very comfortably. Living in a hotel for that length of time would cost us a lot more in the end. There would have been extra cost of parking, eating in restaurants, laundry facilities and not to mention no privacy. Our daughter was released from the hospital December 25th...the best Christmas gift ever...the gift of life...My wife and I know in our hearts that there would have been no way we would have made it through this journey if it was not for our family but as well as the support, understanding and the compassion from Matt Regush and Sky View Suites. We feel we made a friend with Matt. We would highly recommend him and his associates to help you find the right place to stay whether it would be for fun or for business or for home away from home like us...They are definitely the right people to help you out.
