  1. Dr TR-1

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

  3. PF TR-3

    Kache, Aatz'ak'. O'e' uvaa', ¿kam toole'l naj 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

    Inya, vatik naj cheel, b'a'nkuxh tel naj tu qusb'e'me', a'e' tan nimal kat b'alaxti as k'axk'ochit umpajte. Chaj b'iichajkuxh kub'eyat naj tu UCI aq'al la pich'ul tatin naj tan eche' uva' la lejpu iltza'l.

    ¿As jatu la qil naj, aatz'ak?

  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

    Cheel o'lavat minuuto la pal etil naj, vatik tel naj. La etaq'kan eb'ii sqej tuk' tachul emolonb'al. Q'aleen tu uma'l ch'ich' la uch etul umpajte ti' tilpu naj as la qalvet setej kam toole'l naj tuk ib'ane' tuulenb'al u txanchile'.

  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

    Ye' kuxh etxum eetama, tuk pal etil naj b'aj b'iite. Il naj ile' niqile' as xeel umpajte aq'al uva' b'a'nkuxh tatin naj.

  15. PF TR-15

    ¿As jatva'l q'ii, tuk atinoj naj tu 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

    A'kuxh la alon asoj oora tuk' uloj taama naj, tuk qile' kam tuk ib'an naj ta'n u quxu'me' tz'aka'me' tan at k'axk'oj tu unq'a tz'aka'me' eche' va'. Ye'xhkamkuxhe' la iya'ta u aatzike', tul okoj o' ilil sti' aq'al uva' oora la xekpu naj.

  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

    Cheel, nisa'b'ela naj b'iil tz'akab'al tetz aanxelal as tuk' ib'otx'il. Echchit nipaleb'ele' tul nitz'akal uxhchil eche' uvaa' as kamal tuk ku'oj ch'u'l ib'anb'el unq'a tz'akab'en tuk ib'an b'iite.

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