"Updates about Pal Takats:
„Maybe – day”
Tomorrow Pal might be transported to Sankt Gallen, Switzerland. I think the reason is that the Inselspital in Bern is getting overloaded. Personally I’m not too happy about this but I know that the new hospital meets the high quality requirements what Pal needs.
He had a fever of 40 degrees almost all day long. It might have been :
- maybe because of the lungs infection,
- maybe because of an infection at the broken leg,
- maybe because of the combination of strong medicines that he gets.
Fortunately it was not necessary to give him an extra medicine against the fever: till the evening his temperature fell back to his average 38 degrees.
The doctors still don’t know why he doesn’t wake up. They tell always new theories about what’s going on in his head:
- maybe the bone/ or fat particles from the broken leg got into the veins after the accident, went up to the heart, then through a small hole (that 30% of the humans have in their
), through the arteries to the brain which causes the abnormal brain activity
- maybe the brain have moved (even without getting a stronger hit on the head)
- maybe the problem is in his central nervous system
- maybe the brain liquid brought some material into his brain which disturbs the normal functioning of the brain.
There are a lot of „maybes”. I am normally very positive but the last briefing with his doctor was quite shocking: They’re still not sure what’s going on in his head or if he will be able to recover completely. If yes, it might take 4-6 months.
In the evening he opened his eyes again shortly, slightly moved his head and his limbs on BOTH SIDES. “Maybe” this is a good sign because since the brain problems he hasn’t moved anything on the left side.
Tomorrow at 8:00 last examination in Inselspital, if he is ready for transport he will take another heli ride…
PS.: I want to thank all of you for your support. I have to apologize if I don’t answer all the messages you send. I am moved to see how many people worry about Pal and want to
him and the family with providing a place to sleep, with offering
or just with a few nice words. You are good people! Let us stay with him in our thoughts, he needs us! "
