Husband Denies Abandoning Bedridden Wife After Childbirth
A Buriram woman paralyzed by post-cesarean complications remains bedridden and on a ventilator, while her husband denies abandonment claims, saying he visits regularly despite health issues.
A 28-year-old woman from Buriram province has been bedridden for over ten months following a cesarean delivery complication that occurred just 24 hours after surgery. She remains on a ventilator with a tracheostomy, unable to speak or move her limbs, and can only blink her eyes in response. On July 22, her 29-year-old husband stated he has continuously visited and never abandoned her, explaining his absence was due to stomach pain that has since improved. He pledged to bring her home once she recovers. His mother, 50, corroborated that the family regularly visits, buys supplies, and has prepared a small house for the patient's eventual return home. However, the patient's 50-year-old aunt disputed the husband's account, saying he has never visited or even called, though she acknowledged the mother-in-law's visits are genuine. The aunt clarified her criticism was directed at the husband alone and expressed no anger at anyone, having only stated facts when asked.
