Finishing up at the hospital!

7 weeks flew by, and there are so many stories to tell. I don't even know where to start, but glad that I wrote a few in the beginning of the stay.

Alih Johnathan had his surgery, and they came to c me at the hospital where he was born. All seems to be well with him and his parents, they were so happy and glad that things are good. They will have go come to Antananarivo for check ups on him fairly often - and the next time they will go c the doctor is when he'll get his stitches taken. It was a hug operation, and had taken the surgeons 3 hours to do it. The parents have said that they will keep me posted through a friend at the hospital in Antsirabe, Andranomadio.

The boy that had broken his back, I don't know what happened to him - but when they come for a checkup at the hospital they will tell my friend there so that she can tell me.

One of the ladies that I really connected with was a lady that was hit by lightning, she was sleeping in bed with her husband and 4 month old baby when it struck. Her husband and child died, but she survived. She was severely burned, 2nd and 3rd degree several places on her body. The left hand had to be amputated because it was completely burned. She was and still is with good spirit, and had good help in her family. The hospital bill got to high so asked to leave, and they didn't keep her. I hope and pray that she will be well. The painkillers she got for the burns were 500mg paracetamol 2x a day. Somethings that is hard for us to understand when we have morphine as pain relief for severe pain. They are so good.

Yet again a little insight to the the life and stories at the hospital!
