Dear Friends:
This note contains current information on the condition of Ramsey Muniz. He remains ill, and is fighting two kinds of bacteria. One bacteria causes liquid to surround his stomach area, and the other has infected his blood. He is improving, but the progress is slow. Below is a synopsis of his progress:

Friday, September 2: I visit Ramsey from 2:00 PM – 3:00 PM. They run several procedures, including hemodialysis to filter his blood, as it is infected with E.Coli. They drain liters of bile from the abdomen area through a procedures called paracentesis. Ramsey is out of character, because of the medication administered. He is very irritated,and pulls out a tube from his nose that is used to suction liquid from his stomach. The doctor decides to leave the tube off, and monitors for liquid buildup.

I receive a call from the doctor in the evening. He informs me that the leakage has ceased.

Saturday, September 3: Ramsey undergoes hemodialysis for approximately 4 hours. He also undergoes other procedures and remains heavily sedated. He hardly speaks.

Sunday, September 4: Ramsey speaks, though conversations are brief. I do most of the talking. He informs me that the doctor has visited him and says that he is improving. His face indeed shows improvement, and I have a renewed sense of hope in his recovery. His face reflects amazement and disbelief about what he has experienced.

Monday, September 5: Ramsey undergoes hemodialysis for approximately 3 hours. This difficult procedure leaves him weak and sedated.

Tuesday, September 6: His abdominal area is again drained through the procedure called paracentesis. Three liters are drained, and he is later seen by the doctor who says that a lot of fluid still remains around his abdomen.

Because he has not undergone hemodialysis, he more alert, and converses a little.

His condition is as follows: Fluid around the abdomen. The fluid has yeast, and it is being treated with an antibiotic that fights yeast. He is also being give arimaxin, a general antibiotic.

Wednesday, September 7: He undergoes hemodialysis for approximately 2 hours. He remains weak, but converses a little.

Our sincerest gratitude goes to all who have expressed compassion, love, and concern, and more importantly to those who pray on behalf of my husband.

Assalamu Alaikum,

I strongly believe in the power of prayer as God has himself said that no evil can touch us with out His will and no one can harm whom He wants to save. Why sometimes evil surround us is not a mystery. I think it is God’s way of testing our strength and love for Him. These tests, trials and tribulations increase the depth of our soul and are just a next step towards Heaven. God is most forgiving and most merciful, He forgive us if we truly asks His help and guidance through prayers as God has said that “Ask Me and you will get whatever you seek.”

I also believe in the power of congregational prayers, as it unites community and align our souls for a good cause. Is it possible that you ask Imams of most if not all mosques in DFW and other cities to have a special prayer during Khutba or after Khutba before Juma prayer for HLF brothers starting this Juma and continuing on other Jumas in Ramadan so that God forgive them, and forgive us and all Muslim community. This is a very critical time for all of us and not for them only. I wish we all pray together and remember the power of unity as God mentioned to hold on to the rope with strength and not to be divided, ” Wa atasamu bi hablillah e jamian wala tafaraqu.”

My prayers are with these brothers and their families. May God have mercy on them and on us. Amen.

Best regards

Email from John Wheat Gibson:

A major newspaper in Tirana, the capital of Albania, yesterday [Sept. 5] picked up the Texas Civil Rights Review story on Rrustem Neza’s deportation, translated it to Albanian, and splashed it on the front page. Korrieri says that Rrustem was denied asylum in the US and will be back in Albania soon. For sure, now, the killers will be waiting to arrest or maybe just shoot Rrustem before he gets out of the airport.

************

Note: Until the facts of this case can be more fully comprehended, the Editor of the Texas Civil Rights Review solemnly hopes that USA immigration authorities will reconsider their rush to put Rrustem Neza’s life in further danger –gm

Ayman Suleiman called me from Jordan tonight. He wanted to talk about his growing up in the United States. Ayman reminded me that for eleven and one half years he went to school and each morning he recited the “pledge of allegiance.”

“That is the only pledge I know or want to know” he said. His words have amazing meaning given what he has been through.

There is a new pledge for Ayman to recite. That pledge has to do with manhood, for Ayman must now care for the entire family.

In the next 72 hours Ayman is going to do something very brave. He is going to take his sisters to the US Embassy in Amman, Jordan and ask to talk to the head of the Citizen Immigration Services (CIS) with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). The topic will be what can be done by DHS in Jordan to bring him and his two sisters’ home now.

Ayman is willing to care for his sisters in the United States even if it means the family must be temporarily separated. His sisters and he must continue with their education. One can only wonder what is going to happen.

Regardless, the Suleiman children will continue to recite the “pledge of allegiance” and Ayman has learned the pledge of manhood that goes with caring for family.
