Saturday 14 September
We had to get some photocopying and scanning done and also made lts of phone calls to investigate repatriation to Australia - must be fully cleared by Hospital 115 doctors to transfer Ken with a full medical team and he is still too critical to move. M&K were allowed to visit Ken for 15minutes together again. It seemed he was a bit more responsive to stimuli, and seemed to have better colouring. M&K were so exhausted so went to bed early.
They were woken up with the phone at 11.00pm to rush to hospital. Sadly informed us Ken had passed away at 10.50pm. He had rapidly deteriorated and had a cardiac arrest and could not be resuscitated. May went in to see Dad, but Karen couldn't. We had to go back to the hotel to get our passports to sign a guarantee for payment so that Ken could be processed and transferred. We escorted him from ICU, downstairs and out for transfer via a van for transfer to the mortuary.
M&K had about an hour sleep - we felt we had to get out of District 10 so made a booking for 2 nights at the Oscar Saigon Hotel in the city centre, which is where Bob and Dad had stayed.
