My dear Milaap supporters,

Hope you and your family are together and safe during these strange and trying times.

I am writing to let you know that today we are fortunate to be in a position to help others (Zakat - alms to the needy), especially the daily wage workers who are going through tough times. We are lucky to live in our house, though it was on sale when we were in hospital and we plan to restart our business when complete lockdown is lifted - sincere thanks for all your support.

Quick update on Akbar Ali's health.
After getting discharged, Akbar Ali had 3 seizures - one lasted for more than 30 mins that almost killed him). We got lucky again as he was well taken care at Jain Hospital. He continued his physiotherapy till pre-covid situation. Today his health is good as he is on strong doses of anti-epileptic drugs day and night. Last year we went on pilgrimage and prayed for each one of you - for your much needed help, best wishes and prayers during 2018. (This will stay with us for life)

My brother and I continue to volunteer our time for new brain injury survivors and their care givers. They seem to find our experience helpful which makes us feel good. We have also started donating on milaap to give back -  as this platform has been instrumental in making things better during the toughest journey of our lives.

We wish you safety and peace in this pandemic. Feel free to reach out if we can be of any help.

Best,
Arjuman, sister of Akbar Ali (Miracle Boy)

Dear Supporters,

Hope you are doing well.

Due to all your prayers and support, we had the best of our lives over the last 7 weeks with Akbar Ali at home. He has been recovering well. We have mostly been discussing about how your contributions have been of immense help during our time of emergency. Similarly there are so many people out there who are in the same position and how can we participate once we clear our present loans.



On 17th Oct, 2018, it was another exciting day with Akbar Ali being around. We had planned an outing the same evening to break the monotony of him being at home 24/7.  At 6pm hell broke, Akbar Ali had the longest seizure post accident (lasted for an hour). We rushed him to Bhagwan Mahaveer Jain Hospital, Bangalore. First aid and emergency treatment for the next 3 hours helped him to slowly become semi-conscious. Doctor advised to immediately shift him to ICU. However, I requested multiple times to admit Akbar Ali in the ward as I wanted to be with him as I have witnessed several seizure episodes.

I

I was asked to sign a letter that I take complete responsibility of this decision (admitting in ward) against doctor's advice (ICU) and the hospital will not be responsible for patient's medical condition. It made me think if any hospital takes responsibility anyway if they are admitted in ICU or CCU?

Then another seizure took place at 4am in the ward, but the nursing staff and duty doctor took care of it well. We stayed there for 3 days and got him discharged.

Now his anti-seizure medication have more than doubled. He is mostly drowsy, a little disoriented, takes 3-4 hours for eating one meal, loses balance frequently, does not participate much in talks like before. Heavy drug dosage is freezing his brain activity to control seizures. But I know he will be back soon.

Your constant support, wishes and prayers are appreciated for the rest of our lives. We pledge to help people in need whenever we can - for the rest of our lives. A BIG Thank You for making us realise the importance of giving back!!

Will be back soon with more updates. Wishing you the best of health and love.

PS - I have read your replies on email and will sit down to reply in a bit. Apologies for the delay.

Regards,
Arjuman
