The story behind the name

Eleven27 otherwise known as November 27, 2008, (which also happened to be Thanksgiving Day). The day we were sitting on Ben's hospital bed and were officially informed that Ben would be having a liver transplant much, much sooner than any of us had thought. It was a morning of tears, fear and worry, one of those moments in your life where time seems to stop and everything gets quiet and still. I can remember exactly where everyone was in Ben's tiny portion of the Progressive Care Unit, the smell of the hospital linens, the sound of the doctor's voice as he changed our lives. And then thankfully, the words of the nurse that brought us back to reality as she explained things from a human perspective and calmed our fears.

Eleven27 - our journey begins.
