Retun to ICU - April 28th


News that Thau is back in ICU brings uncertainty about a positive recovery, and in fact has become a more serious outlook. Things are fading now. 


Yav was unable to visit since he was first present after the initial stroke. He was bearing too much emotion from the situation, kept his distance - and now, arrives in total hysterics. I hear him break down in the hallway outside of Thau's room. When he enters he is almost thrashing through his sobs, apologizing for not being strong enough to have visited more. He throws himself on his brothers body, Thau embraces back with all strength he has. He hooks his arm around his brother and they struggle together to shift Thau so they can face each other. 

I take a moment and leave the room, Yav and Thau have some time. Later after things have calmed down, Yav gets some air downstairs and returns to the waiting room to join Sacha and I. Yav recounts that in their moment, Thau whispers to his younger brother, "Don't break my stuff".
