Mohanachandran is battling it out.....

Sitrep after the doctor's visit at the ICCU and on seeing Mohanachandran in the morning.....

      "There's a very slight bleeding at the operated part of the skull and to stop it, one of the two
        medicines required for the heart will have to be stopped. The doctor hopes that this will not 
        affect the heart immediately because the medicine's effect should remain for 24 - 36 hours by
        which time the bleeding should stop in the normal course and they hope to recommence the 
        stopped medicine. They plan to take him off sedation tomorrow and see the response of the 
        of the brain. They expect him to return to the condition he was before he went in for the neuro
        surgery. His left eye is swollen which is the after effect of the surgery yesterday and will subside 
        in due course of time".

        His condition in the evening (Around 2000 hrs) continues to be the same as it was in the 
        forenoon!

My prayers for Mohanachandran, along with my classmates', for his early recovery so that he's able to get back to us hale and hearty. And be part of our get together between 09 and 11 Dec! Am I asking for too much?

The mortal remains of Sasi Pillai was consigned to the flames this afternoon around 1 o'clock. Thalavoor was represented in full strength at the sad occasion. The cremation had taken place within the compound around his house. His family seems to be in a state of shock completely in disbelief of what they're seeing though he's been having a host of medical problems.

He'd spent the whole of Sunday complaining about gastric problems completely oblivious of the fact that his heart was straining against the leash.

There was also a complaint that the hospital authorities delayed the announcement of his passing away to clock more hours on the ventilator - a common happening in many hospitals. An unethical medical practice that's a global phenomenon! Sad!!


Tailpiece.
