The daughter of Victor Calvagna has personally said goodbye to her father, who is currently in hospital and whose condition is seemingly bleak.

Calvagna, a well-known oncologist and president of Puttinu Cares, remains in critical condition after he was hit by a car in Qawra on Tuesday night.

His daughter posted an update about her father's condition on Friday.

"I am going through everyone's messages and prayers in my own time and am trying to thank everyone personally, but from the bottom of my heart, and I speak here for my entire family, thank you. Thank you for keeping us in your thoughts and prayers. You have given us the strength to go on even during this devastating time," his daughter posted on Facebook on Friday.

"I know that my dad's condition is not 100% clear to anyone, not even to us, as we are not medical professionals and furthermore we are always trying to hang on to a word or two doctors might be saying about his condition to ease our pain. However, since the one thing my dad always hated was misinformation, I would like to share the following facts about his condition."

"Unfortunately, as of yesterday, my father was found to be, medically, 95% brain damaged. What this means is that he has lost 95% of his brain function. Doctors have also used the words permanent. Therefore, his condition is seemingly bleak. Medical professionals have just corrected my use of certain terms, from brain dead to brain damage, as he is not declared brain dead. I am clarifying this because I want to make sure this is a post of clarification of facts regarding my father's condition. I do not wish this post to be sensationalized in any way."

"I have personally said goodbye to my father, for he was more than 5% functional brain activity to me. He was my everything. But, some might want to hang on to the hope of a miracle."

"Please keep my father in your prayers, if for no other reason, but to be pain free and at peace in his state. Whatever the outcome, miraculous or not, that man lying in that hospital bed was, is and will forever be our hero, my dad, a husband, a grandfather, a father in law, an uncle, a brother, a colleague, friend, athlete, a professional and one of the greatest people we have all had the privilege to know and love. For that we are grateful."

"Tomorrow is a new year. I have decided to forever keep my dad's memory alive in the way I live life from now on. I hope that all of you do too. He loved without measure. He let go of any pettiness, and did not give importance to things that did not result in good. He was humble, a hard worker and he did not waste a second of his life. Let's keep his legacy alive into the new year by simply trying to follow in his footsteps and by his example. Please spend this time with your loved ones, even if you aren't as close as you should be, for tomorrow is not promised to any of us. I truly wish everyone a happy, healthy and blessed new year. This is how I always want to remember him regardless of his state now, running into a challenge like his life depended on it. Live on my champ."
