Today I left the hospital early and ventured into Chennai town. I must say, traffic here is crazy and everyone hoots and drives like crazy yet the cab guy told me they have very few accidents because of slow speed cars go because of high population. On the roads you have cars, motorbikes, tuk tuks , buses which have no windows and full to capacity, people hang like they used to in our buses sometimes back, and you may also get bikes.
We started with saravana and the cab guy was God sent becoz he went in with me and was able to translate for me when necessary. Think what was so frustrating was communication. I felt relived that we were done with errands and we then looked for KFC ..yes junk food but better than what we have been eating here at the hospital. We ate a chicken zinger burger with pepsi and I oreder take away fro Alex and Samara.
We headed back and believe me traffic was a lot and we got back at 6.30. I thanked God that the cab guy was God sent as he was patient, didn’t demand for money and helped not just me but also other Kenyans who had used his cab. So I requested him to come pick Alex tomorrow at nine and take him around.
Got to the room and was so good to be back with Alex and Sam..can you imagine we have one phone which outgoing calls had been barred by vodafone becoz somebody somewhere had not submitted our documents ..which we had done immediately we arrived..annoying isn’t the word. Alex and Sam indulged in the KFC food which was just divine noting that we have been indoors since we arrived at the hospital.
Anyways, Sam’s hospital band was removed and that excited us. Alex was pursuing our medical forms for Qatar and we hope we are cleared to go home on Friday morning we cant wait.
A Kenyan couple shared his story with us on how their 39day old son had been discovered to have a heart defect and they need a corrective surgery urgently. It was chaotic for them to put things together in a week’s time but they managed and are here. The doctors say they can sort the issue and we pray that all will be well. I pray for grace for the family.
