Final update 8th Sep 2012

The long fought battle is over. Rishi, our mighty warrior has succumbed to his fatal disease. Cancer sees yet another prey and we lose our most beloved child. It is shaking, it is unbelievable, the end has come.

Since 1 AM, early morning, Rishi's oxygen consumption through the ventilator shot upto to 100% when the doctors realized that the stage has come when only a miracle could save him. His heart was still beating and he was put on stronger dose of medicines to keep the heart at pace. Later in the morning at around 10 AM the medicines also stopped giving results. Rishi was certainly losing it soon. At approximately 2 PM, Rishi was declared dead.

Rishi leaves his father, mother, younger sister to live on with his dreams.
He wished to become a pilot and loved cricket. Full of fun, he kept telling his sister.. "there is nobody than me for you..don't fight with me"

May your soul rest in peace, Rishi!
Do know that you were loved by many.. many who never met you.. but prayed for you.. extended monetary help.. gave time for your recovery and supported you through out your journey.

We thank you all, each one of you, who have worked with us for this cause. Thank you for your unconditional support, lovely hearts. The expenses at the hospital have been covered. We have a corpus remaining which we shall be using for Rishi's family's welfare, loan repayments, and closing out the house mortagage.

Love you tons Rishi!
Sleep well..
