Tefillos for HaRav Kadouri's Recovery Continue
by Betzalel Kahn
HaRav Kadouri, who has been hospitalized at Bikur Cholim in
Jerusalem for several days with a severe case of pneumonia,
is showing slight improvement in his condition.
According to hospital spokesmen, on Monday afternoon doctors
decided to connect HaRav Yitzchak ben Tifcha to an
innovative respirator designed to gradually wean the patient
from artificial respiration. The $35,000 device was donated
to the hospital on Monday.
This is the second device of its kind operating in Israeli
hospitals. It has the unique ability to automatically check
the patient's breathing rate and to adjust the oxygen supply
in accordance. The more the patient breathes independently
the less the device interferes.
"Connecting the Rav to the respirator which weans the patient
from the reliance on it indicates a stabilization in his
medical condition and another slight improvement," said one
of the treating physicians.
