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. 3,50,000
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 5th Sept 2012
Rishi is very slightly better than he was yesterday. His blood counts are all normal now. His heart rate and pressure is also nearly under control. He is not completely conscious yet, though he is responding to simple instructions like - hold my hand , Let go of my hand-
His sugar levels are still quite high . Insulin is being administered for the same.
Due to the sedation and the dressing on the nose, he could not open his eyes and be fully conscious.
Doctors still don't say he is doing great or fine but they say he is much much better than yesterday and is showing signs of recovery...
His father sounded much better today than he did yesterday when we spoke to him and it was as if he had a renewed sense of energy within him...may god bless them and give them all the strength and courage that is needed to fight this...
We did not have the heart to write that yesterday Rishi was sinking ; but our little warrior is going to fight this and he has an entire army with him, even God cannot refuse.
The doctors are doing the best they can and we are praying our best we can .
Please do keep the prayers on, you can save a life.

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.

Latest update 3rd Sept 2012
Rishi is moved out of ICU and is under observation in general ward (still quarantined, and kept separately)
Doctors said the second half of Sunday was crucial for Rishi;s recovery, that has passed.
The GVH though still needs to come under control. Rishi has been taking GVH and liver count medicine for over an year now, the same ones continue. Anti-fungal injections are already administered.
Doctors are waiting for more tests to be done to see how Rishi is responding to the same.
The tension has reduced considerably but Rishi is still weak, can not sit straight up for long. Rishi also was under some pain last night and could not sleep well but the nurses' helped promptly to look after him.
Rishi's father and mother have lost into a trance. One thing keeps haunting after the other. At the verge of time when they almost thought that the battle this over, this episode of anti-fungal infection increasing through Rishi's optical nerves and scaringly growing towards the brain challenged everybody's faith and hope once again. Undeterred though, and determined to fight, they seek support from almost every visitor that walks in to meet Rishi. Let they be known that we are all with them.. forever.. always!
There are many many more years to go by..!

Latest update 2nd Sept 2012
Rishi had his first semi-solid meal today morning after 4 days
Still, not able to chew, but able to open eyes vividly, can talk softly
As usual, very curious about medical reports and killing inquisitiveness, his mother had to narrate out the entire 4 day summary to him
His response was a surprised smile :)
In marathi he says.. "evadha sagla jhala chaar divsat?!"
("All of this happened in just last 4 days")
Rishi is in ICU, it is still not known for sure when he will be moved to special room
