Today we learned that Rimma has been put into a hospital in Odessa Ukraine, a few hours southwest of Kherson. She tested positive for tubercle bacillus (TB) during a routine vaccination at her Internat. She will be there for two months, Zina said. Oksana called Zina and this is how we all found out about it. I read that this doesn't necessarily mean that she has Tuberculosis, just that she tested positive for tubercle bacillus and that if left untreated, it will develop into Tuberculosis. I'm not sure, though. Perhaps our medical friends could set us straight. We are glad that she is getting the care she needs there in Odessa. I feel the need to go to Ukraine more than ever, but we are not sure we would even see her. I hope she can still come to Colorado this summer. I hope that is not a selfish statement...I want that for her. Sorry if I'm not making sense, my heart is heavy and there is a dark cloud over the Rogé house right now.
Please pray for Rimma's recovery. Pray for Zina, too. She is missing her and worried. I'm glad that they have the phones, they can talk to each other.
