Underneath this giant bandage above Ali's right eye are two steri-strips criss crossed over her deep gash.
Sue and Peter's Hungarian neighbors (Rita and Laci along with their 9 year old daughter, Veronika) were the ones to take us to the hospital on Saturday evening. The Somlo village doctor was out of town traveling but one of the doctor's assistants were in the village. So, we first went to visit her to see if she could help. She then sent us to the next town where there was a 24 hour clinic. The nurse greeted us kindly, had a look at Ali and collected our personal data while we waited for the doctor to arrive. He took a quick look at Ali and recommended that we drive the 20-30 minute drive to the nearest hospital in the town of Ajka where we could get her stitches. His clinic was more equipped for sick children, not injured children like Ali. Unfortunately, he was unable to administer the stitches that he believe she required.
Fortunately Rita and Laci were familiar with the Ajka hospital and once there Ali was treated within about 10 minutes. She was very brave and barely cried. On the way back to Sue and Peter's home, she dozed off in the car. We returned at about 10:15pm and found Terence enjoying Yahtzee with all our friends (Mia came with us to the hospital).
Here are pictures of Ali from this morning. Her and Mia had just received their medals from Saturday's Tomedtoz Olympics (created by Sue). A more detailed overview with pictures from the Tomedtoz Olympics are coming soon.
