Cassandra Guertin Thibodeau, d’Embrun, qui est sous dialyse depuis sa plus tendre enfance et qui n’a plus de rein, a reçu un appel important de l’Hôpital Général d’Ottawa vers 18 h 35 le 11 août dernier : on lui annonçait qu’il y avait un rein en attente pour elle. Ses parents, Nathalie Guertin et PatrickThibodeau, l’ont aussitôt accompagnée. Le 13 août, à 4 h 15, Cassandra entrait en salle d’opération pour six longues heures afin que l’équipe de chirurgiens lui transplante son tout nouveau rein. « L’opération s’est très bien passée, a dit son père, et son rein fabrique déjà de l’urine, ce qui est excellent. » Cassandra restera à l’hôpital pendant quelques temps encore afin de s’assurer que tout est sous contrôle.
