Appeal to All Donors,
Please note that ideally we would like if Rishi's father does not have to touch his savings
He still needs to feed his family of four, and needs money for day to day expenses
Hence we would like if we can generate donations close to Rs. 3,00,000
Also, note that a big component #3 in expenses is only an estimate, this can go up
We encourage all donors to transfer the amount as mentioned on this page
It helps us to keep track of all money coming in and going out and control disbursements
All documents shall be furnished as soon as we procure them
Thank you!

Latest update 1st Sept 2012
Rishi will undergo endoscopy today at 2 PM
The surgery will be performed through the nasal track
It is needed to remove the accumulated debris near the eye and forehead, from within
The swelling has relatively reduced but Rishi is barely able to open the eyes
The eyes still seem to ooze out some white substance making it uncomfortable to open eye lids
Signs of fungal infection near the optical nerves are not obvious
But the doctors are not ruling out the chances of the same
If the doctors notice any spread of the infection near / on the eye, there is a rare possibility that the eye (right) might needed to be removed - but it cannot be said for sure as of now
The consent though has been sought from the parents
We are all hoping and praying that situation does not come even close to this
Just want him & his family to know that he is always in our prayers
Go for it, boy! Do it again..
Doctors have assured us that no medical treatment will stop on the grounds of lack of funds
There shall be no delay on their part to attend to Rishi
Salute! Respect!

Latest update_31st August 2012
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..

Latest update 20th August 2012
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
