From: Maha Varaha prabhu
I was on a night shift today with Madhava Kanta Prabhu. When we reached the
hospital, Dr.Sagar from the Bhaktivedanta Hospital told us that GM is
sleeping now as he is little tired of breathing on his own from 11.30am.
I asked Dr.Sagar to find out if it is possible to feed GM now. He said we
can feed GM as soon as he wakes up. 30 minutes later GM woke up. I went
inside the ICCU and asked him whether he would like to have his dinner now?
GM didn’t reply anything. The nurses who were beside GM asked him the same
question, still we didn’t get any reply. I told GM that he must eat
something so that he can build up his strength to walk, speak etc.
At around 9pm me and Madhava Kanta Prabhu fed GM with chickpea and vegetable
mixed soup. He ate about 8 spoons. At one point he started to cough and then
he stopped taking the prasadam. Dr.Anamika who was on duty insisted GM to
eat more. GM shooked his head in disagreement. Finaly i gave some water for
him to drink.
After drinking the water he was trying to say something. But Doctor told him
to relax since he is breathing without the support of ventilator. GM fell
asleep 20 minutes later. I went inside the ICCU at 5am to check GM’s
condition. The nurse told me GM is back on ventilator at 4.15am. I rubbed
his hand gently and he opened his eye. I put Sri Sri Radha Madhava picture
infront him for his morning darshan. After 10 seconds he closed his eyes. I
understood that he is exhausted of breathing on his own the whole night.
