Three long days in the Neuro Intensive Care Unit. Every hour monitored, every reading watched. Exhausting and terrifying and full of quiet prayers. He held steady through all of it.

Through the fear and the waiting and the not-knowing, Mamu's dear friend Dr. Smrity was right there. Not just as a doctor — as a friend. She stayed the whole time, helped us understand what was happening, and made sure Mamu didn't have to face any of it alone.

He was taken by ambulance straight to the hospital — and Mamu and Raman were right there with him, every second of that ride. Disoriented but conscious. A nosebleed on the way. Hearts pounding, hands holding.

Papa had a seizure and stopped breathing for about 30 seconds. A parent nearby held him, kept him from falling further, and called for help. A teacher rushed over and gave him CPR — twenty, maybe thirty compressions. And then — he breathed again. We are forever grateful to every person who stood by him in those moments.
