I went away for two weeks Em. I accompanied Patty on her dream trip to Russia. Patty has wanted to go to Russia for a long time but her health has deteriorated so much that she thought she would never get there. So, on 22nd June we left for St Petersburg for a river cruise on the Neva, Svir, Volga and Moscow canal system to Moscow. It was wonderful but I missed you while we were away. Last weekend you had to go into Parklands for your PAM treatment. Mom said that Dr\Roos was away so Dr Jonathan Egner did your treatment. I've known Jonathan for a long time - since the early days of SAIDA. Did I ever tell you about SAIDA? It stands for South African Inherited Disorders Association and in the '70a and 80's it was really a big, busy, active organisation with about 16 affiliated genetic disorder self-help groups. Jonathan was involved with the CF (Cystic Fibrosis) group - I think he still is but his prime interest is paediatrics and that is how you had him to help you while Dr. Roos was away.
Mom said that you visited Gumpy nearly every day while I was gone. I know that he loves having you visit and it was nice to have you and Tam there while I was gone. You caught a cold, with a sore throat, while you were in hospital and you haven't been too well the last few days. Get better soon my Em.
