please accept my thanks, though much belated, for the e-mails of July 21, as well as for today’s, copied below.
I ask Dr. Mignot also to accept my sincere thanks for her continued excellent care of Assefa and Robiel, and for her very helpful communications.
I beg your pardon – both of you – for the delay in writing. Please do not suppose, however, that I or my colleagues – and Assefa’s family – have been idle.
On the contrary. Thanks to your helpful communications since July 17, we have been making preparations of our own.
Among other things, we have facilitated communications with Dr. Mangan, an hepatologist in Tallahassee, and Dr. Kornetsky, a nephrologist in Manassas — both of whom have graciously donated their expertise to The Baraki Family.
As a next step, we expect to pose a few questions or requests to Dr. Mignot in an e-mail tomorrow evening. Likewise, we are planning a reply to Mr. Francis Christian, who wrote yesterday about the hepatitis B treatments at Apollo Hospital in Ahmedabad.
We also anticipate to write to Dr. Praful as soon as we receive a reply from Dr. Kornetsky to an e-mail we sent him only today.
Thank you yet again for the life-saving care and compassion which you and Dr. Mignot and the other physicians at St. Yared Hospital are giving to Assefa and Robiel.
Most respectfully yours,
Gregory Lloydcc: C. Patrick Elms, Jr.
