  1. Dr TR-1

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

    Oyh, antem anima. Jehonon, ¿tzet utb'il ya'on yin nay Antun?

  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

    Jaton, nanik lalan sweyi, yet k'ulenaj sa'al xyun yeltoj naj yin, asnxin kaw sat xyitoj keytu' jow xyute sb'a. Joj kutenel sweyan yin k'uhal k'ulal b'ey jun UCI yin yok ilwal yin keytu' chi'ilchatej tatol k'am junoj spenahil.

    ¿Yetoj b'a'in chiske' kilon'ok yinon, antem anima?

  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

    Tinanik yet junoj jolajoneb' minutos joj jex ektoj jeyiloni, tol lalan swey naj. Joj je ya'kan maj yetoj b'ey chiske' kawihon yetoj junoj sb'isil yet awteb'al anima.

  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 tzet chana', joj jach ek'toj jawil yet junoj rato. Lalan kilonon keytu' lalan kahon okon yin yilletoj yin yilchatej tatol watx' x'elok okoj smsanil.

  15. PF TR-15

    ¿Yetoj jantaj tiempo, joj oktoj b'ey jun 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 joj yala' jataja' yili tzet joj yun yok tukan yin, joj kila' tzet joj yun spajtzen b'ey xtz'isle eyoj yetoj wan sya'tajil chistx'oxaj sb'a yin jaxka ya'on wan jaxka ya'on b'ey xk'upletoj ti'.

  19. PF TR-19

    ¿Keytu' chimulnay smasanil smimanil mato ley junoj sya'ilal?

  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

    Jaxka ti' nanik', chiyoche junoj tzukan anb'al yin spixan yetoj stx'anil. Junti' keyk'al tu' ya'oni jaxka yet chi'illetoj yetoj chiske' yeytej yajanil yet wanojxa hora.

  24. Int TR-24

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