Interviewing Dr. Najeeb Hanoudi

"Dr. Najeeb Hanoudi is probably the oldest Iraqi blogger. He's in his seventies if I'm not mistaken. He writes an excellent diary where he expresses his thoughts of the current situation in Iraq. We have been friends for a while now. I wrote before about his son's accident. Today, he's my guest for a Q&A session. His answers shades more light on the situation in Iraq. I hope you enjoy his answers as much I did.


Q: First of all, how is your son Nazar doing?

A: Nazar is still in the advanced vegetative state he has been in for the last year and a half. He is still receiving his water and his is fed through a naso-gasrtric tube and his breathing is helped by a tracheostomy. He has lost all mobility and his position should be changed regularly to prevent the development of pressure ulcers [bed sores]. But he sees and hears reasonably well and understands but he cannot respond or communicate."
