"The doctors have decided to keep Annis sedated as they want his brain to be under full rest" she said adding that the doctors want to do more tests on him to determine the exact nature of cerebral vasculitis he is suffering from in order to address his strokes in the best possible manner.

She also urged the countrymen to pray for her husband's early recovery.
