My parent have left again

My parents have left again. We had a good time together, and I think that they were able to get a reasonably complete picture of my life in Bangladesh. Because of the political unrest, I accompanied them to Dhaka to say farewell, and they arrived safe and well in the Netherlands. I am grateful that our travels together had no difficulties. Even with transportation blockades, the trains pretty much stayed on schedule, and travelling to and from the various train stations was also without problems.
Today, I’m travelling once again without my parents - on the way back to LAMP Hospital - and immediately caught a train with more than 6 hours delay! And I’m still not there...
My parents with me in my living room.
My room.
My mom had a great time following me through the hospital and taking pictures. In the coming few updates, I will share some of the pictures she took.
Hospital.
Doctor visit.
Consult, discussion with the mother about treatment options for the boy; we decided to wait it out a little while longer.
In the coming weeks, life resumes it’s normal pace. At first it will be busy with surgeries, but we are quite concerned whether patients can make their way to the hospital with all the transportation blockades. We shall see.
In the next week, we will celebrate St. Nicolas with some Dutch people and then prepare ourselves for the Christmas celebrations. It is of course a feast for Christians who are a minority here, so we always try to explain people what Christmas is all about.
