[Vnbiz] [vnbiz]: Brother Hoanh's Mom

[Tran Dinh Hoanh]

Dear brother Phong,

Thanks for the note and the prayer.  Yes, I understand the power of
collective prayer.  And I am grateful that many brothers and sisters are
pouring in such collective strength.  Thank you all.

My mother is still in intensive care at the hospital.  I imagine my family
would welcome a visit, but if my mom could communicate with me now, I would
think she would say, "Come on, I am in my worst shape and you want to
introduce me to my friend?"  So, in respect to her wishes (as guessed by
me), I would think we would just leave her alone for now. A prayer would be
wonderful for her.

Two days ago, I insisted that the doctors keep her away from sedative as
much as they can, because "she is trying to fight her battle, and you guys
keep putting her down by giving sedative to her."  The doctors agreed with
my request and now use sedative at the minimum level, she looks much better
today and appears to be more alert. I am keeping my fingers crossed.

Thanks brother Phong and everyone for your support and prayer.  They are
good for my mom and for my entire family.

Have a great day!

Hoanh
