  1. Dr TR-1

    Good afternoon. Are you Mr. Pérez’s family?

  2. Int TR-2

    Wach' yemk'u'alil, ¿jeb' pamilia yik win Pérez?

  3. PF TR-3

    Hola, doctor. Janh janhtik, ¿jantak sk'ojol win Antonio?

  4. Int TR-4

    Hello, Doctor. Yes, we’re Antonio’s family. How is he doing?

  5. Dr TR-5

    Well, he’s asleep right now. The operation went well, but it was very long and aggressive and we’ll wake him up slowly in the ICU to do tests and make sure there aren’t any complications.

  6. Int TR-6

    Totn, wan sway chi nek, nik operación wach' nhej ix aji, palta kaw niwkil yok yet' kaw tu ye'kni. Konh ki pitzl swayanh ja k'ojnk'ojlal ja nik UCI sek ki saynkil yet' ki maknkila' to may junok sya'ilal.

  7. PF TR-7

    ¿Yet' b'ak'inh tz'at kila, antwjum?

  8. Int TR-8

    And when can we see him, Doctor?

  9. Dr TR-9

    Come inside in 15 minutes. He’ll be asleep and you’ll have to give us your contact information and phone numbers. Tomorrow at 1pm you can see him again and we’ll explain how he’s been progressing during the first few hours post operation.

  10. Int TR-10

    Jax chinek ja 15 munuto oj ek' ilxok, waynakto winak. Oj je yakkan je b'i yik tzonh awji yet' sb'isul k'en telepono. K'ik'an yik a la 1:00 yik yemk'u'al tztak' wul je yilnok wun'ejmxo uet' jax kalni tas ya'ani ja eb' b'ab'wl ora yik tox ix och operación.

  11. PF TR-11

    Ja ayin maymach ix alni, tzin nib'ej tzwil win jin nul'ej muk'uk.

  12. Int TR-12

    No one explained that to me, I want to see my brother now.

  13. Dr TR-13

    Don’t worry, you can come in to see him later. We’re taking care of him and putting monitors on to make sure everything is OK.

  14. Int TR-14

    Manh ja na'a, oj ek' ilxok ja junk'aj cha. Wan kiln'ati yet' ka'n och yilmal sek sek wach'nhej smasnil ja a.

  15. PF TR-15

    ¿Yet' jantak k'u, oj kankani ja UCI?

  16. Int TR-16

    How long will he be in the ICU?

  17. Dr TR-17

    Everything depends on how he progresses, how he responds to surgery and the complications that can arise with this type of operation. Your brother is in good hands, and we’ll do everything we can to ensure his speedy recovery.

  18. Int TR-18

    Smasanil ja tzyala' tas yilxi, oj kila' tas oj yutjssb'a ja nik cirugía yet' ja eb' sya'ilal aysmay sch'oxchanh sb'a ja icha niwntik ja operación. Ja win ja nul'ej maytas oj yak' palta ja a, oj k'ak'nhej smasnil tas sek oj b'o'ok ja muk'uk.

  19. PF TR-19

    ¿Yet' wach'nhej ya'n yol sk'ojol smasnil mato ay yunok tas tu'?

  20. Int TR-20

    Are all of his organs working or are there any problems?

  21. Dr TR-21

    Right now, he needs a small amount of medication for his heart and blood pressure. This is normal in this type of procedure, and we can most likely reduce the amount in the next few hours.

  22. Int TR-22

    Ja chinek, tznib'ej jak yanhil yik spixan yet' nik yik sch'anhkin. Niwntik ixtanhej ya'ni ja niwntik yet' aysmay yemt yok nik yanhil tik ja eb' nik ora tzjawtik.

  24. Int TR-24

    Ok, thank you. We’ll wait here until we can come in.
