Dear Friends:
My father had made a great recovery and had overcome the effects of
stroke and the heart surgery. He had been moved to the rehabilitation
wing of the hospital and was undergoing physical therapy and was
walking and talking and was expected to be out of the hospital by
Christmas.
Yesterday my father had excruciating pain in the stomach. It was
discovered that the feeding tube that had been inserted in his
stomach had been leaking the contents out of the stomach around the
internal organs. Three liters of liquid was siphoned out from the
stomach area. My father now has a massive infection and his kidneys
are failing. He also had sudden drop in blood pressure which might
have caused another stroke. The doctors are not very hopeful.
My whole family is distraught at the sudden and unexpected turn of events.
This has been a difficult day for me and I have been going through
many desperate emotions and praying. I don't feel ready to lose my
father.
I ask for your prayers.
Thank you for all your friendship and warmth and love.
Love to all
Harsha

Dear Harsha:

I will keep you and your father and your family in my prayers.
I will especially remember him with the Mahaa Mrityunjaya Mantra,
in all of its aspects. I understand all too well that feeling of not being
ready to lose a parent. And I also know the anger you must feel
at the problem which seems to have caused his setback.

May God shower you with the strength you need for these moments.

Love,

Joyce

Dear Harsha,

What an awful turn of events, to have hope so quickly snatched away.
My prayers and love are with you, dear friend....

Love,
David

Thank you David. Thank you Yolanda, Joyce, Catherine, Ram and others for your
kindness and prayers.

I have now found out that my father had to have stomach surgery last night. The
doctors had to open the stomach in order to remove the liquids from the feeding
tube that had leaked into the wrong area and have caused a massive infection.

Because my father's blood pressure became very very low yesterday, his kidneys
appear to be damaged and not functioning. There is also the possibility that
another stroke may have occurred due to the low blood pressure. No one can tell
right now.

I spoke to a friend of my fathers, who has known him and the family for over 30
years. This friend of my father is also a physician who is a nephrologist
(specializes in the kidneys) and in charge of Dialysis at the hospital. He was
telling me earlier over the phone that more than likely he will start Dialysis
on my father tomorrow.

My father's friend, this same physician, was very sad and somber and told me
that due to my father's weakened condition, his body may not be able to fight
off the overwhelming infection despite the antibiotics.

I cannot be with my father physically right now but am holding him in the warmth
of my love in my heart.

I was reminded of Dylan Thomas's poem about his father where he tells his
father, "Rage, rage, against the dying of the light."

My father cannot rage, being sedated, incubated, and again on a ventilator. I
have raged for him the whole day, holding him in my heart, praying, weeping, and
shouting, "God bless you Father, God bless you" and in my mind have kissed him
from his feet to his head.

around you, THIS is the moment to see Who you are, Who he is, Who is
running this heartwrenching show!

RAMANA! Blaze your grace through Harsha's heart, mind, and body so

Dear Harsha,

I was a little behind in reading my e-mail messages, and I only just read
what happened to your father. This must be such a difficult time for
you. My heart goes out to you. You are in my thoughts and in my prayers.

Love,

Toine
