Hi Everyone!
My husband and I visited Rishis home yesterday to see how the progress of his health is going.
I could not get any pictures coz at home as well he is in a sterile room , where only his mother is allowed to go, not even Mr.Prakash. He has an attached washroom there itself and watches television all day. Food is given to him inside .
We had a long chat with Mr.Prakash about all the expenses that have happened till date and are going to happen furthermore.
He did mention that till now , the debt that is on him is nearly to the tune of 15 Lkahs!
This man earns just 13 thousand per month from the job that he does. He has a 5 member family, including himself.
He has a younger daughter who goes to school (grade 5) , Rishi at the moment is obviously on a break from school.
Rishis medication per month is nothing less than 20- 25 thousand as they are imported medicines and are not sold in the hospital.
Rishis treatment/follow ups will gpo on for another year minimum.
At the least ,We now need to help this family , with the following :
*/ Payment of the family’s obligations (loans) [including the one taken to pay the final hospital bill] which is approximately 15 lakhs
*/ The cost associated with Rishi’s monthly maintenance i.e. ensuring he gets a good diet, sterile living conditions and his transport to the hospital (considerably far from his house).
*/ The cost of the medicines which are not being covered by the hospital. This is quite an amount approx 20-25k monthly.
*/ Making sure Rutuja does not suffer or is at a loss for basic necessities in the bargain.
PS- Yesterday, their mother mentioned that Rutuja is defnitely feeling neglected and has even questioned them , "Mummy when will life be happy and normal again" ...
That line touched not only my heart , but my soul.
This is an appeal to all of you , to please please spread the word and try and collect as much funds as possible to help this family.
Now that we have taken these few steps, lets all go the full 9 yards and do whatever it is in our capacity to help...
Prayers definitely need to go on...
Thank you for everything..
In love,gratitude and prayer, always,
Tina
PS- we have all the bills and reports needed for this from the hospital .

Update_22nd October 2010
I feel so happy to write this to all of you. This is by far the best day :)
Rishi was discharged yesterday. Everything went off smoothly by the good Lords grace.
He is clear by 99.2% :)
He reached home at 8:00 pm last night.
I spoke to Mr.Prakash this morning , and forgive me for repeating myself, but he was sounding very very relieved and very very happy :) God bless them all, always.
Rishi had dinner at home last night after very long. He slept well and peacefully :)
This morning he woke up early , showered and was watching Tv and having breakfast when i spoke with Mr.Prakash.:)
I will try and go see him this weekend and get more pics for you all :).Clearer ones :) as now he is not in the sterile room or hospital so i can merrily click away :)
Lets all continue the prayers that he continues to be well and improves on a daily basis.
His post discharge treatment will go on for nearly a year more which will also cost approximately a lakh and a half.
Just a note for those of you who need the receipts - we have them now. Will be posting them soon.
For the ones who are in Pune, pls let me or Mr.Ramdas know .Thank you once again for everything, you all :)
Lots of Love and Light,
In Prayer, love and gratitude, always,
Tina.

Great News Folks! :)
Our Prayers are definitely working :)
I am soo soo happy! :)
Rishi is getting discharged from hospital tomorrow - THURSDAY :)
I just spoke to Mr.Prakash. There was definitely a relief in his voice. God Bless them all.
He said the report from Blore is here and Rishi has accepted Rutujas marrow , 96% , the rest 4% will be good in 4 - 5 days, docs say!
This is by far the best news in the last few months.
Our Little warrior has nearly won his battle :)
The docs also mentioned that this process of acceptance and healing takes almost 6 months for everyone , but in Rishis case, don't we all know who is behind this miracle :)
Mr.Prakash will be sending us a scanned copy of all the details which the doctor will give him ,along with the medication and expenses which will be needed post discharge, soon.
Till then , we definitely need to keep our prayers on for this family and help them win this verrryy soon! :)
Thank you all for everything! God Bless you all!

Just after a few minutes of writing the previous blog post, Mr.Prakash called in.
For the first time i heard him SO happy.
Rishis counts have more or less come to normal.. his WBC, platelet and Hemoglobin count.

This is all the good lords work, our prayers are definitely being heard and are working so please please keep them on.

Hi Everyone,
Mr Prakash just called a while ago.

The doctors say this happens normally. Nothing much to worry about.
But i just think and feel , all of us need to pray harder .
Will keep you all updated on what happens next.

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.
