Update _12th Oct 2010

HI,

Just spoke to Mr Prakash.

Rishis blood/platele count has gone low; but the docs say this fluctuation happens for sometime.
Nothing major to worry about ; but i'd say .. nothing to stop praying about.
Please, Please keep the prayers on and lets see Rishi out of there real soon.

They are giving him one bag of blood today ; as i write this, and it will be tested again tomorrow to monitor the progress.

Can't thank everyone enough for the support in cash and kind. Please keep the word going.

In love,gratitude and prayer, always,

Tina.

Update _10/10/10

Hi Everyone ,

Last evening was a very fulfilling one.

My husband and I went to meet our little warrior ; Rishi and his father, Mr.Prakash.

Rishi is quite stable by the grace of God.

Mr. Prakash mentioned that he believes this is a miracle of sorts.
Every person who undergoes what Rishi has gone through has major side effects/ reactions after the treatment.
It is a very testing and challenging time;in most cases, its as major as the failur of the liver, kidney etc; but our little man , Rishi, touch wood , by HIS grace , is fit and fine.. except for a few mouth ulcers as mentioned earlier.

Mr. Prakash could not stop thanking us.
We were very humbled and told him this is not us but God working through us. We are mere instruments in his hands.

He introduced us to a fried of his , Mr. James , who he said has been with him since some time now. He has been a pillar of strength to Mr Prakash emotionally.
He was also one of the people who helped him shift to Sahayadri hospital , which definitely deserves a mention , Dr.Apte has been fantastic with Rishi and a BIG Thank you to him too,as without him this would not have been possible.

Mr James narrated to us how he also feels its all a miracle , as Rutuja who is a little girl had the patience to be on that drip while donating her marrow for Rishi.
She is like any normal child who is jumping around all the time full of energy, but that day she was overtaken by a divine power. She lay there still and patiently and did not even once say she wanted to get up or even visit the washroom.

Mr. James noticed something in that room that day.
A small "literature" (as he put it) by Sathya Sai Baba . :) and was convinced... it was HE who is behind the scenes here and repeatedly thanked the good lord for all his blessings.

Also a special thank you to all those who have made it possible to give this child a new life.
They spoke about how when Rishi grows up they hope and pray he also helps children/people with new lives and realizes what he has gone through too.

Rishis blood will be tested again today ; and then if all is well he will be shifted to a special room. He will be there for sometime , after which he will be under observation again for sometime. He might need some blood from his parents if his platelet count is less.

After he gets discharged, hopefully 3 weeks from now, he would have to visit the hospital daily for regular check ups.This will be then reduced to once in 3 days , then once in a week, to once in a month.
Slowly , but steadily, our little warrior will win this battle! :)

Below is a video , where Mr Prakash talks about how he wants to thank god for everything and how he also thinks this is a miracle.

Also below , are 2 pics of Rishi which i could click from outside the sterile room as we were not allowed inside.


Thank you to everyone for everything. We are still collecting funds to help this family. Please do pass on the word and contact us for any assistance needed.

In love, gratitude and prayer, always,
Tina.

Update _October 9th 2010

HI All,

Mr. Prakash just called in.
Rishi is coping well. His blood count has increased, by the grace of the good lord.

He has ulcers in the mouth as a side effect of the treatment as of now , but the docs say thats nothing much to worry about.

He will be kept under observation for some more time , and as mentioned earlier, his blood will be tested again soon.

Please keep the prayers on and spread the word so that we get more and more funds coming in.

A very big thank you to everyone who has contributed in cash as well as prayers, without which we would not be on the path where we are.

Transfusion tomorrow_update 3rd Oct 2010

Hello Everyone!

THE DAY is here!
Rishi and his sister both are in the hospital.
The transfusion will take place tomorrow morning,starting 7:00 am.

Mr Prakash sounded very tense. Please do pray that the good lord give him and the family all the strength they need in these tough times.

I personally do believe , and i am sure most of you will agree, "If God brings you to it, He will bring you through it" .. and that's what I tried to explain to Mr Prakash to try and give him some strength.

The transfusion takes several hours (7-8) , he said. Rishis sister will take a day to recover from it.About Rishi he said he will know once the transfusion is done and is successful.

It is a humble request to each one of you reading this, please, please please pray that Rishi wins this battle...He is a strong boy and deserves a long health life.I am so positive he will come through this :)

Thank you for all your support and please do keep the prayers on.

In love, gratitude and prayer always,
Tina.
