From Ratnavali...

This afternoon the doctors did Tracheotomy. Tracheotomy is a surgical opening in the trachea (windpipe) that forms a temporary opening to make breathing easier. They have inserted the ventilator tube into this hole instead of sending the tube through the mouth.

Since Guru Maharaja is unable to breathe by himself they cannot remove the ventilator. They cannot keep the tubes through the mouth for a long time and it can catch infection. Guru Maharaja also feels uncomfortable with the tubes. Therefore the panel of doctors decided to go for tracheotomy.

Compared to yesterday the consciousness level is down today. There could be different factors. They will wait and see tomorrow. Apart from this the other parameters are stable.

We do not know how many more days it might take for Guru Maharaja to breathe by himself and to be out of ventilator. It is all up to Srila Prabhupada and Lord Krishna now. Whatever happened so far is a miracle and we need more miracles for Guru Maharaja to completely come out of this situation successfully.

Lincrusta was first produced in 1877, the time Prabhupada House was constructed. Its purpose was to decorate and to protect the lower reaches of the walls with hard wearing surfaces. The original builders made their own design by cutting & pasting existing patterns, so Michael has had to follow in their footsteps.

After thirty years of service, the red carpet that Srila Prabhupada and his disciples have decorated with the dust of their feet has been taken up. Today the painting crew has been repainting the stairway's wooden treads, and the walls of the hallways. Prabhupada House ki jaya.
