Update

That was yesterday.  Doc released the little man today and told us we could go home.  It has been a long week.  He has been a real trooper.  He is on at least 5 meds, and still looks pretty bad.   He is pestering his brothers today, which tells us he is feeling much better.  Up until this point, he has only moaned and wanted to be held night and day.  We didn't get to see much of the city except for this hotel and the International clinic.  Both of which are unrepresentative of normal life here in Yuzhno.  I'll try to remember to post a picture of the view from our window tomorrow.  Walking down the street, you see many Asians and always a handful of Brits or other Ex-pats.  Scott described this place as a oil and gas boom town.  It is kind of like a village that has had all this oil and gas money pumped in, so there are a lot of Western goods available (for a price), which are not available where we live.   The lady that has been our driver since we arrived is 2nd generation here from South Korea.  But she speaks only Russian & English.  She looks and dressed Korean, but is culturally Russian.  The city has an interesting mix like that.
