We
started from Leh on 3.5.2008 at 9.30 am with Dolma from Nirlac and
Nahida, special educator from education department, to Thangtse
with Ladakh Hilfe. Nirlac organized food and rest house for us during
the trip. We arrived there at 1.30 pm, and then we directly went
to visit the monk Konchok Tarchin in Shayok. He is doing very well
with the exercise which we showed him before. Now we showed some
other exercise to him. He is happy to see us again.
We are going to talk about him with the head lama of the Phayang
gompa if it is possible to take him to the gompa. There we may visit
him more often since it is closer to Leh and he will get more therapy
then back in Tangtse.
Next
day Nahida went back to Leh because she got sick. Then we went to
Marak village, which is 60 kilometer's from Tangtse. We visit our
patient Stanzin Dolma. She is 14years old having C.P. and she does
not speak but she understands us. First we did exercise with her,
then showed to her mother what to do since she is taking care of
her.
Then we visited Stanzin Lamo. She is 13years old and she can do
every thing on her own.
Going to school in 4th grade she has much pain, when she moves around,
especially in her wrists. We gave her father money to buy the much
needed medicine she has to take all the time.
Next day we visit Stanzin Shakya with C.P. He needs help with every
thing, but his family is taking good care of him. We did exercise
with him and instructed his father and sister.
Kesang Dolma, suffering from a hemiplegia on her right side, was
next. I am sad to write about her. Because she is really in very
bad condition, she can't stretch her leg's, can't sleep in the right
position. We can't do any thing with her, in these days she is not
talking with us, she did not recognize us. She also needs medicine
and we will try to get her some.
Tashi
Namgial belongs to a very poor family. He also did not get his medicine
lately for lack of money. His condition has gotten worse, since
only the medication controls his athetosis. We told his mother to
please come to Leh with him. Then we go to a doctor together and
check him again.
Rigzin
Yangdol she has scoliosis right convex (BWS) she is in 4th class
and she lives in school Hostel. She is doing good therapy. We did
exercise together and also
showed it to her teacher. She is playing volley ball, is running
and she can do every thing on her own. During our visit all patients
from Tangtse Block receive as a present warm winter jackets from
Jule's grand parents, who donated some money for this purpose. They
all are very happy to get the presents.
