Someone wait for you to breathe again

Hello Everyone

I am sorry to be late again since I was very busy in the last four days in the hospital & I didn't see my mom since 29th of January, but today I returned back home for one day holidayJ. I was very happy there in the hospital even I was very tired bcz of the a lot of work which I had to do even when I lack some of the required equipments for that work & I didn't sleep to much bcz of that. I slept an average of 3-4 hr a day only but believe me when I say it worth it.

There were very interesting cases that I faced during these days, some of them feel me sad & the other feels me happy even if death was coupled with these cases:

The sad case that I had faced was in the 30th of January when a pregnant woman with her 2nd trimester of pregnancy presented to the hospital with severe case of Clampsia ( severe hypertension occur in certain woman through pregnancy) & in the cases of Clampsia we must lower the blood pressure or there will be death. Unfortunately, she admitted to us in the night & we couldn't find an Antihypertensive injection that's used in this case & we couldn't even search for it in the other hospitals bcz of the curfew in the night. So we tried to help by giving normal Anithypertensive drugs but there was no use in giving her these drugs!!! So after 3:30 AM, doctors decided to remove the embryo to lower the blood pressure & save the mother's life & they did to save her life even when her family told us that it was her first pregnancy after 6 years of marriage & they wanted that baby very much. The operation was an unsuccessful one & embryo couldn't make it & die after 1hr of the removal operation, but the mother was still had hypertension!! We tried finally to give her (Beta-blocker drugs) & (Diuretics) but the mother couldn't make it & died at 6:15 AM. I felt very sad cz of this case bcz it was a very simple cz & can be cured easily with one injection only & that's why that the mortality rate is high in Iraq.

The Happy case was in 30th of January noon when an old man admitted to the hospital with complete comma, he was unconscious & showed no signs of life. When I was taking the history from his son, he told me that his father age was 74 yrs old, had many disease like DM(diabetes Mellitus),gout & peptic ulcer but even though he insisted to vote & he fall down on ground after he had voted in the voting center ( in the way back to their home in Al-Kadmia city). I was very happy for him bcz he could vote before his death & I believe that's was a sign from God for us to vote, so plz tell every one who don't believe in Democracy in Iraq this story which represent the braveness of Iraqis & their strong willing.

There were many other interesting cases I saw but I will tell u them in other time cz I'm tired now, so plz forgive meJ.

I want to thank everyone who paid in the pay pal or wrote sweet words & I can tell that that was a big support to me & to my friends to go on & continue what we had begun. I repeat my Thanks for every one paid even a shilling & specially (Nancy C., Rei F., Robert O., Mike O., jon v., Kathleen H.).

Today 10 new students join our group. I was happy & sad at the same time: Happy cz the members increase & that's mean that people begin to feels us & understanding what can simple efforts do if they r grouped & well organized. Sad bcz I wish I have enough money, stuff & equipments for them so I will try to limit the group no. to 61 only until there r enough stuff to give or they will be useless even their good feelings & wishes that they have to help Iraq.
I count the total money today & it seems that's enough only for half of the members only (29 members). So I wish u for the sake of Iraq to make extra effort to bring people to visit my blog & if they r convinced by my words, I wish they will help Iraq.

Iraq, Iraqis, & I will not forget ur efforts & will pray for u & wish u all good things, & I will tell my children in the future about ur kindness & also I will tell every Iraqi I will meet about this. Believe me.

I wish u to write comments showing ur opinions but I am sorry bcz I will not be able to read it soon but I swear I will read it later cz I will be busy in the next few days, But if u have something important to tell me u can e-mail me on
saif_alsheikh@hotmail.com.

Wishing to hearing from u soon,
