A few days ago we posted about this little boy who had recently come onto our scholarship program and has a problem with one eye.
Suky and Sudjai went along with this boy to the hospital this morning. Everything medical is covered by the 3.B card, and he has had fairly regular checks over the years, which is a great relief to us.
The thing is that nothing can be done to help the blind eye, except see that he is positioned better in class and takes care to acknowledge his blindness when dealing with heights (pavements etc) and dimensions.
The priority now is to see that all care is taken to preserve the sight in the left eye, which takes all the strain, of course. He has been given drops, as he isn't making tears, apparently and he has to administer them several times a day.
He was somewhat anxious initially, as there were so many people that they couldn't sit together, checking regularly to make sure they hadn't gone without him. It's always such a long wait in the government hospitals, especially when one doesn't have a specific appointment. However, that he was able to have snacks and lunch (McD) helped, and by the end of the visit he was much more at ease with the girls.
