Note:

i(5431 Hamiyet). Hospital. Miserable. Her i(4615 Nese) has a heart illness, they said her .......{?} have not grown, and she needs to rest a lot. They took her to the Tip. Fak. Hospital and she has been there for a few days @ 500TL a day min. (£25) [this seems an awful lot]. i(0385 Hayat), i(5413 Zeliha) and i(5280 Tenzile) went to the hospital. Said bek¨i refused to let them in because their fis said one person. So no one was allowed in.
Bekci spoke to doctor by phone. Doctor wants to keep the child; they have gone back this morning. Visiting only on Saturday, Sunday and Thursday.
The bek¨i wanted a bribe? Otherwise he would not have been absurd.
A horrible example of the misery and strain caused.
