we actually got news about noz jr. today. our translator came by the room and told us that he is still in the hospital but that his flu is better. he is out or about to come out of the intensive unit or pod or whatever, and that we can visit him on sunday. that will be seven full days after all contact between him and us was cut off.
then just now we got an email from our coordinator in the u.s. mentioning that she heard he was recovered from pneumonia.
pneumonia? how did our person in the u.s. get an actual diagnosis when we never have? the u.s. coordinator got her information from the country coordinator in almaty. and he presumably got that information from the regional coordinator here in taraz. so while the regional coordinator told her boss in almaty, she never bothered to tell us right here in the same city, even though we've been asking for news every day. so instead of information traveling from regional coordinator to us here in taraz, the news went from regional coordinator in taraz, to country coordinator in almaty, to program coordinator in pennsylvania, and back to us here in taraz.
but at least our limbo period now has an end date. only two more days to go.
