Rishi underwent a full upper body CT Scan
The fungal infection is prominent but has not reached the brain
There are no signs of infection on optical tissues as well
There is a minimal sigh of relief
But Rishi's sugar levels are very high
He is on constant insulin supply
That needs to be controlled
Special medication needs to be ordered to act on the fungal infection which will not conflict with low liver count and high sugar levels
Doctor has already spoken to medicine suppliers / vendors / companies through their direct contacts
We will get half of the dosage at minimal costs, very low than MRP
Doctors, as always, will waive off their fees and consulting charges
Rishi has been in ICU since 29th August
Depending on his blood reports today he might be moved to special room
Rishi will be hospitalized for 2 weeks more
Total expenses
1. Medical bills for 29th Aug - 31st Aug: Rs. 68,778
2. Estimated cost for surgery Rs. 1,15,543
3. Hospitalization until 10th Sept 2012 Rs. 2,00,000 (estimated)
We need to prepare for funds in the order of Rs. 4 lacs
We are at a deficit of Rs. 2,00,000
ALL DOCUMENTS CAN BE FOUND HERE
The above estimations could change depending on how Rishi responds to medications and his tenure of hospitalization, updates on the same shall be posted daily

Latest update 29th August 2012
Rishi's parents observed his face swell abnormally overnight
So much that Rishi is unable to open his eyes
Rishi's father observed that a black mark is developed very close to his left eye
Some sort of thick milky fluid was coming out of Rishi's eyes
Something never seen before even when Rishi was on chemo
They called the doctor and the doctor advised for an immediate checkup
Rishi is now admitted to the hospital
The first meeting of the doctor has shocked all of us
The doctor is worried that this is fungal infection
Any fungal infection is not good and should be controlled by anti-fungal medicines
But we are not sure how Rishi will respond to those medicines, they cannot practice a powerful dosage even
The infection could grow and reach Rishi's brain, possible case of Thrombosis
Permanently damaging any of the optical or brain tissues
VERY CRITICAL
In prayers, we beg to the almighty.. please give more strength to the boy and the family.. its not done yet..

Rishi was on his usual medical visit to the hospital
The doctor noticed the swelling near Rishi's eyes and a little on the forehead
It did not look worrisome then
Rishi was give a 15 day course for the swelling
It looked like some side effect of the medicines that Rishi takes every day for liver counts
The medication and the transplant has anyway reduced Rishi's immunity
He is more susceptible to most minor of the infections than ordinary human beings
The doctor has advised Rishi to visit hospital again in next 15 days

Rishi helps dhobi
Dhobi Venkatesh Jalaneela visits his dhobi ghat frequently
Given the family tradition he has taken on the family dhobi business willingly
About 3 months ago he cut his feet walking over some sharp stones on the dhobi ghat
It seemed regular to him but it bled and he practices some home remedies with some turmeric and cloth bandages
It healed over a period of few weeks until monsoon hit and his feet started to remain more in water than dry
This did not help
His feet started to swell and accumulate water internally
It was still not bothering him, not hurting, he continued his regular day-to-day activities
A few days later when he woke he saw that his feet grew cracks and to his nightmare he was hurting like million ants biting his sole
The feet had developed pus and had swollen more
The swelling had grown his foot size by 3 points that he could not wear a chappal sized 10, note his regular size is 6/7
Dhobi's wife works as domestic maid with one of our Sai Seva teams' member and she happened to mention this case to her
Dhobi had been to local doctor and had been taking some medicines, but it showed no signs of healing
The pain was getting unbearable, soon he turned immobile and could not walk
Dhobi was taken to a bigger hospital and was detected severe eczema
The doctor said, any later, and the foot would have developed gangrene
So much so that it would have led to blood poisoning and possible amputation of the organ
Rishi donated Rs. 15,000 from his accumulated funds
Rishi visited dhobi with his father to the hospital and handed over the sum
Rishi has grown up, he does some things which many of the adults do not think of
Gold bless you Rishi!
The sum of money not only help the minor surgery that the dhobi underwent but it also covered the post surgery expenses and hospitalization expenses

Latest update 1st May 2012
Rishi has trying to resume his regular schedule
He steps out of the house late in the night when the pollution is minimum
His friend gleefully accompany him and his father to play with him post 10 PM
Rishi enjoys riding his bicycle and loves to study
He hates the fact that his illness is coming in way with his regular schooling days
He is able to attend school very on and off and very rarely
It get tiring to sit along through the day but he tries to catch up on the missed lessons
What more could we ask from brave Rishi, he has appeared for all his semester exams, written ones
Today, Rishi learnt that his school's principal has decided to promote him to 8th standard despite of his poor attendance. In his words, "A boy who scores more than average in his class in all 4 semesters does not deserve to be detained because of lack of attendance. I would be more than happy to make an exception in his case. He will certainly be promoted to next grade purely based on his merit"
All smiles, god bless you Rishi,
Stay the brave fighter than you are,
