3.03.2007 Unfortunately, the Admission
Department of our hospital does not regularly supply us with information
about new orphan patients, and we have to walk from department to
department and ask if there are new orphans. This is how we learned about
Katya M-va, who has already spent two months at the
Department of Nephrology. She is from the town of Velikie Luki
[Pskov region, Northwestern Russia]. This ten-year-old girl is humble
and kind. Before the Russian Children's Clinical Hospital, she was
a patient of other hospitals, and now she has not been at her "home"
for 126 days (she counts them indeed!). She has an elder brother, but
their mother has left them. They also have a grandfather and grandmother,
who usually visit them, but now they cannot come to Katya, because
Moscow is too far. Of course, Katya misses her relatives, but tries
to keep up: reads books and makes beadwork.A wonderful woman named Natalia, who had learned about Katya quite accidentally, has been looking after her for these two months. She brings the necessary food and medications. 3.09.2007 Katya has left the hospital. 11.12.2007 Katya has arrived for follow-up treatment at the Department of Nephrology. 28.12.2007 Katya has completed her treatment and left the hospital. 11.02.2008 Katya was admitted for follow-up treatment again. 18.03.2008 Katya went home after completion of her treatment. 11.06.2008 Katya was admitted to the Department of Nephrology for follow-up treatment. 20.07.2008 Katya was discharged after the next course of treatment. 30.10.2008 Katya has been admitted to the Department of Nephrology for planned follow-up treatment. 13.12.2008 Katya has been discharged after a course of maintenance therapy. 25.02.2009 Katya has been admitted to the Department of Nephrology for planned follow-up treatment. 
15.06.2009 Katya will go to her orphanage
for three months. She wanted to live in a new rehabilitation
center for some time, but her disability documents are no
longer valid, and presently she has to be seen by a team of specialists
to prepare new documents.25.09.2009 Katya arrived at hospital for follow-up treatment at the Department of Nephrology. 8.10.2009 Katya was discharged after the treatment course. 20.10.2010 Katya has arrived at the hospital for another course of therapy at the Department of Nephrology. She has changed a great deal since October: grown up, made a fashionable haircut and become very pretty! 5.03.2010 Katya has received a trial course of therapy with new drugs. The result was fine, and now she can leave the hospital for six-month out-patient treatment. |

Slava T. is 14 years old. He has been admitted to the Department
of Traumatology. Slava is from a famous institution in the Ivanovo region,

Communists lived and studied in Soviet times. Now this institution
provides special education to gifted orphans from all over Russia.
Slava came from Novosibirsk, where he had spent his first four school
years, after which the director of his orphanage advised him to
go to Ivanovo for further studies. Graduates of this boarding school
often enter not only the Ivanovo University but also the best
higher educational institutions in Moscow, including Moscow State
University. Slava also dreams of Moscow State University; probably
he will specialize in mathematics and physics. Many other graduates
of Interdom also send their children to this boarding school.

visit Slava at hospital. |
