Alan Hozan’s Story

Site created on December 29, 2023

Alan went in for a robotic prostatectomy on December 22. The surgery went well, but after Alan returned home there were some complications. He ended up back in the hospital on the 26th for further evaluation. Early Thursday morning he experienced a cardiac arrest, witnessed by Laurie. The nurse there immediately began CPR, however there was an anoxic period during CPR. He was transferred to the ICU immediately.

We are using this site to keep family and friends updated in one place. “Journal entries” here provide updates since he entered the ICU.

We appreciate your love and prayers.

Journal entry by Colleen Busch

Hello Hozan’s devoted circle of loving attention - 

I’m with Hozan now and he’s napping—with the bedside window open for the fresh springtime air.

Before he dozed off, he spoke of “not feeling so well” but “it’s not my heart.” It’s simply deeply tiring to transfer from bed to bed to bed to bed...We live in bodies, which want to be stretched and taken through the full range of motion, to work and then to rest.

But thankfully now that Hozan is back at Marin Post Acute, PT and OT have started up, and the process is underway again of strengthening and becoming mobile. May it be so!
