Continued from last post...

It seems that the doctor gave us a fright this afternoon (11-Oct-2004) by telling us they had to puncture a hole below the throat, on the chest to ventilate his oxygen supply. This is because his throat became swollen that the long tube no longer served a purpose. The doctor also told us that his blood pressure shot up to the ceiling and if that continues, it might actually damage his brain.

However, all is not lost.

Later in the afternoon about 4:45 pm, he regained conciousness. He opened his eyes and can respond if we call up to him. And at that particular time, my uncle & cousins came for the visit. They talked a while and after seeing the blood pressure still staying very close to the edge, the nurse advised us only to call him and do not make any idle talk in front of him, as that would only worsen his condition.

Well, I do hope his condition will improve. Everyone has been making a very hard prayer for him to come about. Even my aunties over in Perth, Australia took a night plane to come for the visit...

As a result, it continues to the next post...
