I AM OK, really I am!


Dear Friends
I am OK, really I am. I am unaffected by the floods in the northern part of the country. I am some what affected by the discord in the Congo, as we occasionally have patients admitted to the hospital and there is a refugee camp not too far away.
Personally I am recovering from a severe case of Conjunctivitis. All the years I worked with children in the US and I had to come here to get it. UG!
I have had excellent care: The Clinician(like nurse practioner) has his Masters in Opthamology and Dr. Kevin, an infectious disease specialist visiting our country, both said I will live( not so sure I wanted to following two very pain-filled nights). I seem to be on the mend and am only light sensitive now. Enclosed a painting I bought(on time) from a local artist entitled "Mother and Clild"
More soon
Marie
