This week Hugo learned to start up a plane and "drive" it a bit. That's right, drive, not fly... :-) That way they won't have to get a pilot every time they need to start up the engine to test it and such. This is also another task that Hugo needs to complete towards getting his Canadian mechanics license.
Ibu N who has been sick with TB is doing even worse now. Her "loving" family has removed her from the hospital on at least 3 different occasions even though they do not need to pay anything for her care. She is now so weak she cannot walk anymore. Yesterday J and D from Holland went to the local Public Health Unit (sort of place) and asked if they could come and take her to the hospital. They came, but no one from her family was willing to go with to take care of her. You must have someone with you if you go to the hospital here. We cannot get too involved and make any decisions regarding the care of Ibu N. Should we do so and she dies, we are then responsible. It is very sad and disheartening to have your hands tied and not be able to physically do anything more for her. Prayer is the most important thing we can do, but us humans always want to be able to fix things ourselves...
Our nurse friend R who was taking care of Ibu N, has fallen rather ill herself. She was in the hospital here a couple times but has now returned to her homeland to get better care and a proper diagnosis. The labs here are quite limited in what they can test for.
Mikah played her last volleyball game of the season last Friday. She really enjoyed getting to know the game and playing on a team. She also showed great improvement in her play! Maybe the lovely green knee pads I found locally helped... :-)
