Latest update 4th Sept 2012

Things are not improving as expected. We are extremely worried. Prayers stepped up.

The whole of yesterday went by absolutely fine, until the evening when the nurse noticed some bleeding through Rishi's nose while changing his post-surgery dressing. She called the doctor later in the night, and he rushed in immediately out of his duty hours. Doctor noticed that Rishi is showing signs of hypertension, increased BP and heart rate. Rishi, though was not in pain. He was moved back to the ICU from the general ward.

The doctor and nurse dressed up Rishi's nose and scheduled a CT scan for 4th morning. The CT scan happened over lunch time. The reports show that there is no internal bleeding. The blood that was seen on 3rd while changing the dressing, was of the unhealed wound from the surgery. Due to high level of sugar count, lower immunity, the wound had not healed within 48 hours. It would need more time.
No internal bleeding, no internal injury. No internal clots.

BUT - the anti-fungal medicines have caused a swelling in the brain. Rishi had a epileptic fit during the course of the CT scan. He is unconscious as in time. Doctors call it COMA.
