  1. Dr TR-1

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

  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

    A nani, lanan swayi, yujtol yoperacion max elteq yin watx'il, asan xin puch xahal joqan max yune ka puchaxahal yaq' k'apaxoq. Oq ko tenel swayan yin k'ojan k'ulalil b'ay UCI yet ka chi ok ilwal yin k'al jiloni ta tol k'am sk'exanilal yib'an.

    ¿B'aq'in pax oq uj jilon ok yin, doctor?

  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

    Nani yet mi wal junoq 15 minutos oqxa uj he yilon yin, ha'a yet xin lanan ay swayi. Oq mi wal he yakan ayon sb'i maktxel b'ay chi sje yok aw k'al sb'isil sch'en yet aw.

  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

    K'am chi ok ha b'ilk'ulal, oq ex oktoq he yila' yet xahal jun sb'eqanil ti'. Lanan ay ko tayneni k'al jahon ok yin jan ch'en ch'en chi ilontoq yet ka chi ko kamk'olneni tol masanil watx' k'al yeji.

  15. PF TR-15

    ¿Jantaq pax b'eqanilal, oq ejek'oq b'ay 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

    Atala' tzet utb'il sb'eyi swatx'ji ajoq, oq jila' tzet lanan ay yun yihon sb'a b'ay stz'is k'al syehilal chi uj stx'oxon aj sb'a yin jan k'ex operacion ti'. Ha' b'ay ha nuhej k'am tzet oq ya palta, oq jahokoq masanil mitx'q'ab'ej yet ka chi watx'ji yin amank'uhanil.

  19. PF TR-19

    ¿Kam watx' k'almi yaq'oni masanil yórganos ma ay junoq ay sb'ilk'ulalil?

  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

    Yet jun b'eq ti', chi yoche wal jab'oq yamb'al yet spixan k'al stx'anil schik'il. Junti' axk'ijan k'alta'a yin jan k'exal yas ti' ka ay smay chi sje yilay ayteq yaqanoq jan amb'al ti' yet janxa orahil chi ayoloq.
