JB had emergency surgery in Nha Trang (Vietnam)

5/8/2022

JB wakes up in the middle of the night with excruciating stomach pain. Our doctor friend Vincent confirms over the phone that we need to go to the emergency room.

He’s taken to the ER of an international hospital, a 1.5-hour drive away, before being transferred to Khanh Hoa Regional Hospital (Vietnam) for emergency surgery. His gallstone is causing him excruciating pain. After a successful operation by an excellent Vietnamese surgeon (recommended by my aunt), and 3 nights in the hospital, he was discharged on the 8th and is currently recovering.

Thankfully, all this happened in Vietnam, not in a country where we don’t speak the language. My parents came right away from Hanoi, and we took turns at the hospital day and night to watch over him.

So many people rallied to save him, and we are extremely grateful and want to thank them from the bottom of our hearts.

JB is currently recovering in an apartment in Nha Trang. We’ll stay here as long as it takes.
