On Thusday I concluded there was no way around it, after exchanging a number of emails, I had to get over to UN security office and sort out my access number to the Commissary shop. While waiting for the forms to be checked I found that the NL school had tried to contact me several times. I was granted access again to the fantastic choice of wine, although the Norwegian lady was sorry that they did not provide Akevit.
Outside I called the number back at once around 1400, where the head teacher Else informed me that Merijn had not become sick, as I though, since he was complaining a lot before going to school that morning. Merijn had fallen badly during lunch break playing hide and seek. The teachers had decided that a doctor’s visit was necessary and Nganga brought Merijn and his teacher Jojanneke to the Nairobi Hospital. There I was able to call, while they were waiting to be entered into the system, while I was walking back to my office. I packed my stuff and started to make my way to the other end of the city. At school I picked up Merijns stuff contacted them again. They just had stared the treatment so I ploughed through the traffic to the Hospital where I entered the first parking available. From there I walked to emergencies were Jojanneke picked me up at the entrance. Merijn was about to be ready, receiving 7 stitches and just waited for a tetanus injection, that did not hurt as much as the anaesthetics he received. After that he was able to walk back to our car himself. On our way back we dropped off Jojanneke and made it home again just before 1800.
Wednesday Merijn was hard to get out of bed, although the anticipation to a present helped. Breakfast with fanta and some small gifts; especially a plasticine like bounce ball was appreciated a lot.
Thursday, yesterday we had to check the stitches again and change the dressing. For this we went to the Gertrudes children’s hospital close to her in Muthaiga.
We entered at 1400 and 1520 we left the building again. Merijn was entered in
the system, measured, weighted and blood pressure taken. After this nurse Agnes showed us to a ward to change the dressing. First she had to take of the old dressing, of which the plaster hurt the most. She removed it carefully using a lot of sterile water, gloves and forceps. The wound looked nice and clean and after cleaning with iodine it was dressed again. Next week on Thursday the stitches can be removed. With our papers we went to the reception again were Merijn resumed watching cartoon network without sound, and I was able to pay the bill of Kesh 610.
So we went to Village market to stock up for Merijns birthday party on Saturday. This will be held at the NL school at the edge of the swimming pool, which he is not allowed to enter, poor Merijn.

Today Merijn went to school with a chocolade coated chocolated cake to treat all classmates and teachers, almost walking normal again.
