Sorry Lil, though I had assumed actually that Antonina crawled into Oksana's lap while Chiudka was absent - that she left Oksana alone with Oskar and returned to find Antonina. The last bit about addressing Antonina I admit assumes Oksana's reaction to the girl, and I can definitely edit it out (or it can be ignored).

Edit: I hope it's ok that I took out the last paragraph. :) So sorry about that! Upon rereading, my posts tend not to be as clear as I would like, and I'll make an effort to avoid making assumptions. That, and my characters tend to be control freaks. Chiudka needs a good kick in the shins sometimes, I'm fully aware. She isn't as great as she thinks, and some of these patients may end up with infections.

Also, AmongHeroes, I hope Pavel won't think ill of Chiudka, I meant to write that she started talking to him then was interrupted by Vasily. ;)
