my cousin

About one and a half month ago, my cousin was involved in a road accident. He was the pillion passenger whereas his friend was the one who drove the motor. Their motorcycle collided with a car coming from the opposite direction. And… my cousin’s friend died on the spot; my cousin was seriously injured. He was rushed to the hospital. Since then, he has been lying in the hospital… At first, he was warded in icu (intensive care unit). 2 or 3 weeks later, his condition changed for the better, more stable… So, the dr in-charge decided that he could be warded in High-D (high dependency unit). One day later, my cousin was sent back to icu isolation room because he succumbed to trachea infection. After one week, he was more stable again. According to the dr, no virus was detected after some laboratory tests on his phlegm. A good news indeed… To avoid him from being infected again, the dr suggested that he should be warded in a single room. When he was in the single room, he eventually opened his eyes… (he had been in a coma) however, he couldn't talk, he was just lying on the bed inert. We thought tht he would be recovered soon… Nevertheless, his condition was worsening again… he had a high fever. So, he was sent to high-d again last week… But, God made a joke again… The virus assailed him again--- trachea infection again… and he is now warded in icu isolation room again… ~sigh~ again…. As he is in private hospital, a large sum of money is needed. And the medical charges now have already reached 100,000 riggit...
Dear my Mighty God, please let him recover… …For the sake of my cousin, my aunt had already switched to eating vegetarian diet. She said: “ I would do anything to save my child’s life. If eating vegetarian food can save him, I would rather eat no meat n fish for the rest of my life!”
It is pitiful….:(
