HH Jayapataka Maharaj’s status report by Dr Madhavananda das, Director of
Bhaktivedanta Hospital, Mumbai
Today the nasogastric feeding tube was removed and the tracheostomy tube
was replaced with a smaller diameter one. This is part of the process of
closing the tracheostomy gradually over the next few days.
The physiotherapy is getting intense. Today Maharaj was made to sit on the
edge of the bed with his feet dangling down. He was asked to use only his
hands for supporting himself. Maharaj was able to do it for sometime and
then became exhausted and couldn’t support himself anymore. It will take
some practice but he is very determined to do it.
Maharaj’s white cell counts are still low.
Please pray intensely.
