Hi there, just wanted to let you know that my son Evan was a severe AA patient at the 3F clinic at Mac and then went on to have a successful BMT at SickKids. The nurses and doctors are wonderful in both centres and you'll continue to receive the best possible care there.
I would suggest a lap top would be your best source of entertainment as SickKids has free wi-fi available plus you can watch dvd's etc.
You'll be in strict isolation from transplant day to engraftment day but I would be cautious about having visitors at any time during your time as an inpatient. Being without physical contact of friends for a few months is a small price to pay to help ensure you don't pick up any unwanted viruses and fungii which could severely impact your recovery.
Evan's Caringbridge site is linked below. I blogged with much detail from start to finish of his journey with AA/BMT. Feel free to visit.

Best wishes,
