Wednesday, May 24, 2006

Not such a great day. Sholpan was taken in the ambulance to the hospital and there she will remain. They think she may have pneumonia and are running some tests. Tomorrow we will be able to visit her. We need to get special permission since we at the moment have no parental rights. And we won’t have any until she is well enough to go to court. Sort of a vicious circle! Zarina was not herself today. Her cough is starting to bother her and she is now running fever. The doctor is keeping an eye on her and giving her pills of some sort. Most of the visit was spent sitting in Mama’s lap or working a puzzle with her head down on the table. Rinat and Papa went outside for a while until a thunderstorm blew in. Then they tried some computer games. Rinat is trying to get the hang of using the touchpad. From the looks of things he is going to love video games. The judge has decided to hear our case on Monday morning. If Sholpan is not well, Svetlana hopes we can check her out of the hospital, take her to court and then check her back in. Of course, there are no flights out of here on Mondays. If we can not change our tickets then we will be leaving straight from court and taking a six hour car ride to Astana to catch the last plane of the day to Almaty in order to catch our 3:10 am flight on Tuesday. Assuming that court does not take very long!

No one was in the mood for photos today. We promise French Maids for tomorrow!

  1. Sure hope the stay in the hospital is quick and Sholpan does a turn around quickly. I am going to put today's blog less the french maids in the prayer ministry box and share with the folks who will be meeting later this morning for communion. Know that in the days to come you will be engulfed in prayer.

  2. Big frowns here. We'll pray for quick healing... and that everyone else stays well. I guess there's always some kind of complication, right?

  3. I had a family vist with your others yesterday (though Mama Martha and Will Will were the only ones who knew of my presence)....everyone looked happy and healthy here, so we will put our energies behind Sholpan and Zarina.
