IMPORTANT: Bring Victoria George Home

UPDATE: 12:26PM April 29, 2009 Since being admitted to a Peterborough hospital yesterday morning, it is with great sadness we report Victoria George-Pazzano passed away last night. She was 29 years old. Our prayers are with the family. Read more at The Canadian Press.

UPDATE: 2:55PM April 28, 2009, Seems like all the media attention has prompted the Canadian government to overturn their decision to allow Victoria George back home. Read the updated Toronto Star article. Thank you to everyone who helped spread the word.

UPDATE: 11:00AM April 28, 2009, The media is gaining more traction on the story, here's an article in today's Toronto Star and on cbc.ca. Let's hope that this media coverage will help bring Victoria home.

While vacationing in Mexico, Victoria George-Pazzano suffered a very sever asthma attack. Since being admitted to a Mexico hospital, Canadian-born Victoria has been denied entry back into Canada to receive the proper treatment. Canadian officials have concluded that she may have been exposed to the Swine flu and will not reverse their decision to allow her home. On numerous occasions Mexican health officials have ruled out the Swine flu as she did not display any signs, symptoms or pathologies of the illness.

For more information please check out her sister's Facebook note or join the group.

Please continue to spread the word, she's in very critical condition and her family here in Toronto would like to bring her home.
