  1. Dr TR-1

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

  3. PF TR-3

    Jacha' ajkun. Je' oj wa', ¿la utz awach 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

    Xane wornaq chanim, nim ri yab'ilal rech operación xuq'axej. Xa nojim wa' kqak'asuj pa le wokaj rech UCI are chi kakilo la maj k'ax kuya na chech ri ala chwe'q kab'ij.

  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

    Utz kixq'ax pa 15 minut rech kiwilo kich'ab'ej, le are' kawor na. rajawaxik kiya kan ri ich'awib'al wene kajawataj chqech. Chwe'q a la 1:00 rech b'enaq'ij utz kixpe chi jumul ruk'k'ateri' kqab'ij chi wech jas ub'anom ri ala la nojim tajin kutzirik.

  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

    Man kamay taj, kixq'axik ri'. Chanim tajin kqachajij xuquje' tajin kqakoj ri ilb'al chech are chi qas utz kub'an le rilik.

  15. PF TR-15

    ¿Janipa k'u q'ij kak'oji' pa le wokaj rech 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

    Are ajtzij we aninaq kakunatajik, rajawaxik kqiye'j na jas kel pa le cirugía xuquje' we maj k'ax petinaq ruk' chech wa' we operación xb'an chech. Ri awachalal utz rilik kb'anik, kqakoj ronojel ri rajawaxik chech are chi aninaqil kutzirik.

  19. PF TR-19

    ¿La utz k'ut ronojel ri u órganos on k'o ne jachike man qas ta utz chech?

  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

    Chanim rajawaxik jub'eq' kunab'al chech ri ranima xuquje' ri ib'och'. Xaq si jewila' kub'ano wa' we yab'ilal, kqaj ukojik wa' we kunab'al pa keb' oxib' kajb'al.

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