uncle seng ... hurry wake up ...

Hi,

Some updates of my brother who fainted at work last wednesday.
Just got back after speaking to the doctor. His condition is now stablised. Heart Rate at 74 and Blood Pressure at 135. Still on the high side, but has improves a lot. However, he's still in coma and the doctor is unable to estimate how long more he will be in this state (maybe weeks, maybe months or even years)
Currently, he's able to breathe with the help of some supply of oxgen. Eventually, they will try to get him out of the supply of oxygen to see if he can breathe all by himself. If condition improves, they can then close up the hole that leads directly to the windpipe. Else, he will have to stay on in this condition for life.

Next problem is he is now confirmed to have a major stroke. His blood clot is getting better but as it's at the brain stem, even if he wakes up, he will need a lot of family support for his daily chores (may have to stay at nursing home if there's no one to take care of him full time). So, will have to look into how to get his daily life on...but most important thing is still - he has to get out from his coma.

Will still have to pray very hard.

Regards,
Amy
