Visiting Liam and google calender

Hi Everyone,

First of all, I wanted to say that anyone is welcome to come visit Liam at Harborview anytime (call ahead if after 8 pm, hospital security gets grumpier the later it gets). We've set up camp in the waiting room for the 2nd floor West Hospital, right next to the Neuro wing. For Erika or whoever is at the hospital, it is often a welcome sight to see visitors who also care for Liam.

To help manage this, I've set up a google calender to help Erika keep tabs on when people will be with Liam at the hospital. This doesn't mean you can't just drop by for a quick visit (please do!), and you don't have to add your visit to the calender, but this should make it easier for Erika to decide when she should be there and when she can rest.

I've set it up so that the calender, titled Liam's Watch, is visible to the public. However, to be able to edit the calender and add yourself in, you need to be added. To do this, you need a google calender account. See the steps below to sign up for an account, and then email me that you want to be added, and I'll add you so you can view and edit the calender.

Once you are added, simply create an event, titled with your name, and the dates and times corresponding to your visit. Make sure you add it to Liam's Watch calender and not your own.

Thanks for everyone's help on this. Right now there is almost always someone at the hospital with Liam. Whoever that is always appreciates a visit and if there is a day you can be there, add it to the calender!

Here are the instructions for signing up for google calender:

1. Go to www.google.com, and click the "more" button on the top toolbar. From the drop-down, select "calender."
2. Click the button to "create an account."
   
3. Once you've created and verified your account with google, email me (joelmatsuo@gmail.com) with your email address and that you want to be added to the calender. Once I add you, you can edit the calender to add your visits.
   
4. To add a visit, click "create event," and add your name as the title of the event. Add the times according to your planned schedule, and make sure you add the event to Liam's Watch if you have other google calenders.
5. That's all, we should all be able to see when you plan on being there!
