Mini-clinic

Thursday 26 April noon

Lara has passed her night serenely and caught up on some well-needed sleep. This morning her compelxion was fresher and more authentic than I had it seen in months. Rosy cheeks, a good color overall, normal temperature.

Various nurses and guardes-malades came buy to do their thing or take over from one another. Pharmacy Sintejan, up avenue Louise,  came by to deliver giga-quantities of medication and other supplies, to be followed by a similar delivery this afternoon. We are turning the living and dining room area into a veritable clinic. Dr Willemot, our GP, who stopped by around 11:00AM, was duly impressed.

Janis is back in circulation after some flight-related intestinal problems and is now tending to her friend. Her Italien friend Andreina called to ask abou what dish she should bring her for lunch. Helene de Merode and Jacqueline Moens (herself barely risen from a hospital stay and heavy surgery) came in for a brief surprise visit. Other visitors are due to come in this afternoon; various phonecalls came from people farther away, or those who cannot travel.
