The good news is that we have been discharged but the hospital has allowed us to stay here until Thursday midnight when we leave for the airport. We are so glad and humbled that there is no extra cost because our package was for 15 days and we are on day ten.
Today I went to Saravana stores . Oh getting a taxi here is not as easy as at home.You need to call 20 minutes before to a taxi company. Anyways my new Nigerian friend was tagging along so that we share bill and we went to the stores. Took a while in there coz she was looking for Indian weave and we could only get the braids. We came face to face with poverty, old women begging persistently and it was just disheartening.
We called taxi company when we were ready to leave but none was available until the next 3 hours so we got into a tuk tuk and we didn’t breathe till we got to the hospital. The guy never stepped on the brakes, he was rough and hooting. I told him when we arrived about his driving he just said sorry. We removed Samaras bandage and came face to face with the scar. We have said that the scar will always remind us that God is real and faithful.
Some nurses came to give Samara a get well card and we took some pictures, we also took some with Dr. Robert the surgeon, we realize he is a man of few words. Later we were told surgeons don't speak much, they are people of very few words, but we just say God bless Dr. Robert Coelho and his dedicated team of doctors.
Sam’s sweating has reduced at nite and she is adding weight she is now 9.6 and we came at 9.2, its all Glory to God.Today am feeling sleepy hopefully can catch a nap later in the afternoon. Dr Robert says nothing special needs to be done with Samara when we come home..no do’s and don’ts, sam can do anything, take whatever posture she wants. He said kids have a way of not doing things that will strain or hurt them and so no need to worry. However alex feels like buying a metal breast plate to protect her from falling..we all laugh about it , he is just being a protective dad. Doc says stitches take 8 weeks to heal and just need to be washed with soap and water. He only said we should avoid public places or keep her indoors for about 8weeks till she completely heals so as not to get infections etc.
