We just returned from Paltava after enjoying a reunion with Ben's doctors and nurses at the Children's Hospital. They greeted him (and us) with open arms, hugs and kisses. Such wonderful people! We feel indebted to them for caring so well for him, and they kept saying thank you to us for doing the same. It was surely a special time for all. Ben just kept laughing and running into his doctor's arms! The nurses gave him a big army helicopter with all the bells and whistles, (How will we get that home?) a puzzle and chocolate. One of the doctors had a daughter who could speak english well, so she came in and helped us out. We stayed for a few hours and, despite Ben's assurance that they were not busy, we left to go home. There was a restaurant nearby, so we stopped for pizza and juice. The ride home was uneventful and our driver, the pastor of the church, was great.
Zhenia is coming tonite and will have us do more paperwork tomorrow. We also hope to see both Anna and Chris.
Take care all!
