My brother is on ventilatory support

Yesterday, the individual was recovering;
However, today around 12 p.m., he encountered severe respiratory distress after walking with assistance.

Once he sat on the bed, he began to cough, which led to obstruction in the airway, though he was receiving oxygen.
As a consequence, he struggled to draw in air.

During visiting hours, both doctors entered the ICU and assessed the situation. A team comprising two physicians and four nurses attempted to replace the tracheostomy tube.
Following their evaluation, they made the decision
to initiate mechanical ventilation.

It is important to recognise that a person enduring prolonged challenges from adolescence may reach a point of exhaustion and want to surrender as they face consecutive obstacles and losses.

Today, the medical team acknowledged the severity of the situation, as the patient's blood pressure had escalated to over 200, while his oxygen levels had significantly plummeted.

This situation is difficult to comprehend and even
more challenging to face, particularly when one must maintain a facade of normalcy. Today has proven to be exceptionally
demanding for all family members involved. My maternal uncle expressed deep distress upon witnessing his son's condition.

Tension permeated the atmosphere. The physician prescribed medication to induce sleep for my brother. By approximately 6:30 p.m., the ICU staff had adjusted his position to an upright setting. They informed us that the doctor recommended administering a mild sedative via injection to facilitate restful sleep overnight.

Each day has become critically significant for us, and I find it increasingly difficult to cope both mentally and physically. I sincerely hope for my brother's swift recovery, with blessings from a higher power.

Sometimes, articulating our internal emotions
proves to be challenging.

Today marks the commencement of Ganesh Chaturthi in India,
a time when many engage in festivities
and bring home idols of Lord Ganesha for celebration. Ganesha is revered as the bestower of success (Siddhidata) and the remover of obstacles (Vighnaharta).

I fervently wish for the Lord to eliminate the myriad challenges
we have faced since November 23, 2025.

I find myself at a loss for words in describing our situation; nonetheless, I am grateful for this platform, which has embraced me as part of its community and offered support, shared experiences, and motivational insights.

The uncertainty of the future remains,
and it is essential to live life to the fullest. Moments are invaluable, and individuals should avoid behaviours that may jeopardise their health.

One must distance themselves from all forms of addiction, as they may provide temporary gratification yet lead to significant health complications.

There is only one life and one moment: cherish your health and adopt a lifestyle that promotes well-being, for it is well known that
prevention is superior to cure.
