27.02.2008 Tanya S.
(10 y.o.) from the Novgorod region has been admitted to the Department of
Kidney Transplantation. The girl is accompanied by a nurse from her orphanage.
She likes books and music. However, she is not too sociable now: hospital life
is new for her, and she is feeling miserable.25.04.2009 A few words about Tanya. She has been living at the Department of Kidney Transplantation since February 2008. She regularly receives dialysis and waits for a matching donor kidney. Nobody knows how long she will yet have to wait. However, Tanya is not depressed or bored. She is always ready to learn something new and interesting. She visits all art classes that our volunteers organize at the hospital church. When we were selecting the children's drawings and handiwork for the exhibition that is to take place at the end of May, it turned out that nearly one-half of works made during the last season are Tanya's. Besides, the girl reads a lot. This is largely due to Margarita, the nurse from Tanya's orphanage who takes care of the girl. This quiet and kind, yet exacting, woman has become a real mother for Tanya, and the girl even calls her 'mummy'. They come to our church together. When Tanya gets some tasty thing as a treat, she always asks, "Mummy, may I eat it now? OK, will I be allowed to eat it later?" 16.05.2009 After a year of waiting, Tanya has had her kidney transplantation at last. She is very brave and optimistic at present. 25.08.2009 Our Tanya, a nice girl so interested in drawing and needlework, has left the hospital after 1.5 years spent there. She has undergone kidney transplantation, and now the results of her tests are all right. She will come for a check-up in three months. |

Two brothers from the Tula region have been admitted to the Department of Gastroenterology.
They are Ivan and Maxim M. Maxim (left photo) is trying to play
the guitar, and he was happy to learn that volunteers give guitar lessons to hospital
patients 4 times a week. And Vanya's favorite occupation is not quite typical for a boy:
he loves embroidering. He does this work extremely quickly and accurately.20.03.2008 Maxim and Ivan have been discharged from hospital. It was sad to part with these merry and kind boys. During their stay at the hospital, they visited all classes organized by our volunteers, be it guitar playing, singing, or handiwork. They left a lot of friends here. Our Foundation has bought medications for these boys; the amount must be sufficient for a year's long treatment course. |
