25-Nov-08, evening report

HH Jayapataka Maharaj’s status report by Dr Madhavananda das, Director of
Bhaktivedanta Hospital, Mumbai

Maharaja is completely alert today, interacting with the doctors and asking
them to take him on the fast track treatment. He has been off the ventilator
since 4 days now and is breathing well on his own. His parameters are all
stable. The next step will be to remove the feeding tube in the next 1-2
days. And then in the next few days Maharaj will be shifted to the ward.

With the present situation and all parameters being stable, Maharaj seems to
be out of the life threatening situation and is all because of the ardent
prayers of the Vaisnavas all over the world.

24-Nov-08, evening report

HH Jayapataka Maharaj’s status report by Dr Madhavananda das, Director of
Bhaktivedanta Hospital, Mumbai

Maharaj is recovering well. He has been off the ventilator for 72 hours
now. He is fully conscious and alert.

Maharaj will be shifted out of the ICU into the ward in the next few days.
You may have read that he would be shifted out in the afternoon or
tomorrow, but that is not the fact.

Additional note by Dr Shiromani devi dasi: In the morning, the neurologist
Dr PP Ashok merely suggested shifting Maharaj out of the ICU but this news
was not put out by the Bhaktivedanta doctors because the decision to shift
him out of the ICU had to be made by the intensivist Dr Hegde. In the
afternoon when Dr Hegde came, he did not agree to shift Maharaj out of the
ICU today, but in the next few days.

23-Nov-08, from Maha Varaha prabhu

23rd Nov 2008  2pm – 7pm
————————–

Today HG Nitai Prasad Prabhu joined me in the afternoon shift. We reached
the hospital at 2.30pm. Guru Maharaja was resting when we reached there.
Dr.Sagar told me that the nurses just shifted Guru Maharaja from the sofa to
his bed. Once or twice in a day Guru Maharaja is made to sit on a special
sofa.

At 4.45 pm we woke up Guru Maharaja and prepared 3 pieces of mashed kiwi
fruits to feed Guru Maharaja. Guru Maharaja ate all of them. I asked him if
he wanted more. Guru Maharaja shook his head to say no.

After the fruit feeding, we gave him physiotheraphy massage on all the
joints of Guru Maharaja’s legs and hands. This was taught to us by  the
Bhaktivedanta Hospital doctors. We are regularly do it twice a day besides
the physiotheraphy doctors from the Hinduja Hospital.

After the physiotheraphy massage, I read 6 get well letters to Guru
Maharaja. At the end of the sixth letter Guru Maharaja fell asleep.

Yours,

Maha Varaha Das

22-Nov-08, from Ekanath Gaur Prabhu

22rd Nov 2008, Night shift 7pm – 6am

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

7.15pm  Acintya Nitay prabhu and myself went inside to see Guru Maharaja.
Acintya Nitay prabhu asked Guru Maharaja if he wanted to take prasadam
for which Guru Maharaja agreed. Guru Maharaja was very tired so we did not
disturb him. At 8.20pm we fed Guru Maharaja. Guru Maharaja took 10 spoons of
soup very slowly. We mentioned Guru Maharaja that doctor suggested him to
eat 18 spoons to get more energy and Guru Maharaja kindly agreed and took 18
spoons of soup. Since he was exhausted he went to sleep immediately after he
took prasad.

5am: Guru Maharaja is mostly awake at 4.30 am. Even in this situation he
follows his sadhana! He was wide-awake today and wanted to speak. First we
did Samsara prayers and Guru Maharaja touched the lotus feet of Sri Sri
Radha Madhava and Panca Tattva to take Their blessings. He offered his
prayers to Their Lordships and it also appeared to me that he was speaking
to Them!

After the morning program, Guru Maharaja spoke following words:

Here is Jayapataka Swami.
I need to be clean.
Haribolo!
agua (water in spanish)

Guru Maharaja wanted to speak more but we asked him to save his energy for
the senior Vaisnavas who might visit him.

Guru Maharaja looked more fresh than yesterday. His breathing is not fully
normal. He is still tired but he is improving.

19-Nov-08, de Maha Varaha Prabhu

De: Maha Varaha Prabhu

Reporte del 19 de noviembre del 2008, 2.30 pm. – 7.30 pm.
——————————

—————–

Hoy estuve en el turno de la tarde. Llegué al hospital a las 2.40 pm.
La Dr. Shiromani y el Dr. Sagar, del hospital Bhaktivedanta, estaban allí.
Me dijeron que a las 2.30 pm el ventilador artificial de Guru Maharaja fue
apagado totalmente; y que él estaba respirando por sí mismo.

A las 3.30 pm, Braja Hari Prabhu y Narahari Prabhu vinieron a visitar a GM.
Narahari prabhu estuvo dentro del ICCU por 10 minutos. Mientras él salía del
ICCU me pidió que ingresara rápidamente. A lo que me acerqué a la cama de
GM, vi a 2 enfermeras y a Braja Hari Prabhu, intentando comunicarse con GM.
Él estaba sudando y respirando un poco pesadamente, sin la ayuda del
ventilador artificial. Braja Hari Prabhu me dijo que GM estaba intentando
decir algo. Llevé rápidamente el tablero alfabético frente a él, y le pedí
que levantara su pulgar, si yo apuntaba la letra correcta. GM asintió con su
cabeza. Braja Hari Prabhu estaba escribiendo. Dentro de un corto tiempo, nos
las arreglamos para obtener las primeras dos palabras y la primera letra de
la tercera palabra de GM. ‘PREGÚNTENLE AL DOCTOR  S…’

La enfermera me aconsejó detenerme por un rato, y continuar más tarde; pues
GM se estaba cansando mucho y eso podía interrumpir su proceso respiratorio.
Le dije a GM que se relaje y que estaríamos continuando la comunicación más
adelante. Él movió su cabeza en aceptación. Salimos del ICCU.

Mientras reflexionaba sobre esas dos palabras, Braja Hari Prabhu mostró el
papel a los devotos. ‘PREGÚNTENLE AL DOCTOR  S…’ La Dr. Shiromani dijo que
antes de que el ventilador fuese encendido, GM pidió un poco de prasadam.
Después de 2 minutos de discusión, imaginamos que GM intentaba decir,
“PREGÚNTENLE AL DOCTOR SI PUEDO COMER MIENTRAS EL VENTILADOR ESTE APAGADO”

Aproximadamente a las 5 pm., una enfermera me pidió que alimentara a GM.
Después de 2 horas de respirar sin la ayuda del ventilador, GM se veía
cansado, mas su respiración era estable. Pregunté a GM, ¿Desea comer? GM
permanecía ondeando su palma izquierda. Le pregunté, “¿Está intentando
preguntar que si el doctor permitió que usted comiera sin el ventilador?”
GM asintió. Esto demuestra que él está en un alto nivel de alerta. Le dije
que el doctor y las enfermeras habían autorizado que él coma. Teníamos
kicheri de la mañana y upma caliente.

Primero, comencé con el kicheri. Tomó dos cucharas; y después, hizo una seña
pidiendo la siguiente preparación. Le dimos upma. Ya le había informado a GM
que la preparación de upma contenía coliflor picada y suave, y zanahorias; y
que él debía masticar bien antes de tragarlas. Él hizo exactamente lo que le
dije. En un punto, comenzó a dar vuelta a su cabeza hacia la derecha e
izquierda. Le pregunté, ¿Está bien? Él dijo, “No”. Le pregunté otra vez si
estaba teniendo dificultades en tragar los vegetales. Asintió.

Le dije a Guru Maharaja que escupiera todos los vegetales que tenía en la
boca. Utilizamos otra cuchara para sacar los vegetales que quedaban en el
lado profundo de la boca. En total, él tenía cerca de 15-18 cucharadas de
upma. Le dimos un poco de agua para beber. Después de eso, descansó
pacíficamente.

Por la tarde, alrededor de un cuarto para las siete pm., SG Nitai Prasada
Prabhu, visitó a GM. GM todavía respiraba sin el ventilador y descansaba,
cuando salimos del hospital a las 7.30 pm.
