getting things done

they match!

Tomris busy playing

I went to work and Tolga took the day off.  He went to the eye doctor for himself and squeezed in a look at Tomris - she has a stye on her eye that won’t go away.  If it doesn’t in a month, the doctor will have to drain it.  Hopefully we won't get to that point.

Tolga also brought Tuana to the clinic.  Their are government clinics within each neighborhood that follow the children, call and remind when shots are due, and write prescriptions for medication refills.  Tuana hadn't been properly registered and we went this time because while her first two months were in a private hospital - the government records didn't show this.  Her third month we went to the clinic in our neighborhood in Kusadasi and that is where we learned there was no record.  So when Tolga went there today it was too fill in the records for Tuana and get her 4 month old shots.  

Gokhan went with Tolga to help.  He comforted Tuana after her shot.  Tolga had asked me if I wanted to be there - of course I did, but instead I was getting updates by phone while working on one-on-one speaking practice with the eighth graders.  I had been given a list of names to work through with other teachers - but the majority had fallen to me because I had no classes - and once I'm given a goal, I can be pretty obsessive about reaching that goal.

Before the evening finished, Tolga and Gokhan hauled the new/used bunkbed back down to Tolga's truck.  Our nanny had found a family who was poor - a mother of five children with the father in prison - and delivered the bed to them.  We all agreed to bring groceries at another time to support the family.
