The hospital they visit is St. Luke's hospital, a former American hospital in Tokyo. Beb goes to the hospital for new glasses, the children go to the dentist there and Wim visits an internist, Dr. Ikeda.! In his office hangs a portrait of Professor Einthoven. Dr. Ikeda has met Professor Einthoven and admires him. He asks Wim if he is related to the Professor and when Wim confirms this, Dr. Ikeda asks Wim to put his signature at the bottom of his father's portrait and he offers Wim all help whenever possible.

It is beautiful, freezing weather but on February 1 the weather changes into a very rainy storm type and a flu starts floating around, even the Japanese are affected.
Loukie starts first, then Tineke does not feel well. Wim comes home on February 3 after work and doesn't feel good. Two days later Beb is in bed; only Kate and Wink stay healthy. A doctor comes because 13 of the 22 are ill, and he prescribes some medication. All of them are violently ill, but that does not last long. After four days you feel better, but if you're not careful, you can get sick again. On the 7th Wim no longer has a fever and on the morning of the 8th he wants to take a bath. Beb advises against it, but he insists. Wink fires up some briquettes to heat up the bathroom. After bathing Wim goes downstairs to help get the food. Nobody knows when it happens, but in the evening Wim starts shivering and Beb takes his temperature. It is 40.1° C (or 104.1 F), more than he ever had when he had the flu. He complains of pain in his left shoulder and they immediately ask for a doctor. The doctor doesn't come until the 10th (of February) in the afternoon. He pats him here and there and says in his limited English: 'Nothing serious. The fever meanwhile goes down somewhat. In the morning it is 38° C (100.4 F) and in the evening it goes up to 39° C (102.2 F). The doctor is interested in Wim's constipation, which does not mean anything when you stay in bed all day. This reassures Beb even though Wim remains depressed, but the Japanese calm down and no longer listen to Wim's complaint.

In February Wim asks the doctor for some drugs other than a laxative　maybe a sulfa drug. The doctor completely ignore him, maybe he did not know what he was asking for or there are no drugs left. They get no support from Hirata, who always comes along to their doctor visits. Several days later Wim repeatedly asks if Dr. Ikeda, the doctor who has the portrait of Father Einthoven in his office at St. Luke's hospital, can come. They still ignore him. On the fourth day at noon Wim cannot go to the bathroom. He eats very little, only the soup and the milk taste good to him. He gets a cup because he is ill and Beb also gets one, but she gives hers to Wim. Later he eats a tangerine which was given to him as food for the sick. On the fifth day after he had an aspirin, his temperature is 37.6° C (99 F). This is encouraging although Beb decides to try and feed him hoping to get more food in him that way. Beb is also weak because she just went through a flu attack herself, so she spends lots of time dozing next to Wim in their double bed. Wim doesn't sleep well and wants to drink a lot at night, but when there is another air raid, he asks for the curtains to be opened so that he can see all the searchlights.

When I woke up early in the morning, Wim had difficulty breathing; I called softly 'Bibi' but got no answer and thought to myself, Thank　God,　he sleeps' and remained quietly beside him. But at six o'clock I got very concerned, and when I turned on the light, I noticed that he was unconscious. He had not drunk any water, so he probably became that way early in the night, because he usually drank three glasses of water. Immediately I went to Henk Lels who quickly got dressed and went to the Kempei guard, who lived in the gate house at the entrance of the yard. He came at once, and by eight o'clock a doctor came, again with Hirata. They tried very hard to reach Dr. Ikeda, but he was sick. He promised to send one of his young employees. The first doctor gave Wim an injection. Wim winced a little but then became very quiet, even though he had been moving his hands a lot. I sat by Wim's side continuously; Loukie sat beside me; the others thought it was too scary. At a quarter to ten he held his breath for a moment, Loukie went downstairs t to see if the doctor was still there and came back with Henk Lels, Katy, Tineke and Wink and while we were all standing around him, and without him opening his eyes and without any discomfort or even a deep sigh, the difficult breathing stopped and our dear, dear Daddy left us. We all gave him a goodbye kiss and could not think about our terrible loss; we only saw his relief from the horrible sufferings he had endured during the last year before he died. It was so quiet and peaceful that we had to be grateful rather than upset or angry. The children felt this very strongly as well.'
