[Continuation from the blog before this one]
The decision was made and we where sent to Khartoum to seek professional treatment for Anine my co-delegate. In 6 hrs the plan was executed and we were suddenly in the middle of the capital city with Anine admitted to hospital for severe dehydration or not far from it. Two times a day I updated staff and management in all three layers of the organisation, the national society Sudanese Red Crescent, the international federation and our home national society Norwegian Red Cross.
Plans were discussed wether Anine should be sent to Oslo for the best treatment. But now she after one night in hospital, 5 bottles of IV fluids and penicillin through IV, three days rest at hotel and continuance of penicillin through pills she is finally starting to recover properly. Dysenteri is not a joke. That is for sure.
All in all the dysenteri took 10 days to get reduced and some more days to fully recover. She is not yet fully there, so we will stay in Khartoum until we are safe it is over.
Anine has written about the experience herself on her blog.
All the best
Thomas
