Operation postponed

Antonio is feeling better after one injection of Factor VIII. His operation will be postponed until the Ministry of Health agrees to take it in charge. Contacts continue between the Association Libanaise des Hémophiles, his doctor Dr Khayat and the authorities.
Good news: a swiss family , the Bavaud from Fribourg sent 550 dollars to help Chafica pay some of the necessary medicines for the operation. Also, the Swiss Association has launched an appeal for the fostering of the three boys. Let's hope that people will react favorably . This will help their mother Chafica to better carry her burden.
Meanwhile, she has prepared cookies (marsaban) and bûches for Christmas . They are excellent and we ordered some for our family. Apart from her job in the village school, she also started working in a nearby restaurant to increase her salary. She is tired but always positive and never depressed !
