Andrey update

I have gotten some follow-up questions about our friend Andrey (not my boss) who is in the hospital in Cape Town, South Africa so here is an update.  For the backstory see here.

I have been checking in with his doctor every morning (SA time... it's 12 or 2 am here) and he is doing much better.  He has a bit of anxiety and depression possibly stemming from his perception that he let his family down by not staying on-board the ship.  Treatment is slow and difficult since he needs both a psychiatrist and a translator for any analysis of his mood and mental condition.

Please continue praying for him, the hospital staff (particularly Dr. Gordon, his wonderfully helpful physician), his family back in Kerch and that the payment of hospital bills will be resolved in a fair and manageable way.
