Dear supporters,

I am Debotri, a fellow at Milaap. Here is an update on Renuka's treatment.

I spoke to Renuka's husband, Srramappa, this morning. "My wife is getting better with each passing day. It gives me goosebumps whenever I recall those days. She was hospitalised for almost 3 months and she did not regain consciousness for a couple of months and underwent a lot of trouble during those days. Renuka's condition was so serious that she only saw the baby when she was 3 months old. However, things have improved. And this was only possible because of the donors to came forward to make this happen. I will be indebted to you throughout", he said.

The medication is providing immunity against the life-threatening disease.  Renuka can eat her meals on her own, she responds, but still not in a stage where she can walk by herself.

Currently, the family is in their hometown in Kolar. The child is taken care by Renuka's sister. "My sister is really lucky to have Srramappa in her life. He is extremely supportive", said the sister.

Tha family has to undergo post-operative medical expenses for Renuka which is little difficult for them to arrange. It would be really appreciable if you could share her story and help her fight the battle.

Thank you, donors, for your support and contribution. We will keep you posted on her progress.

Dear Supporters,

Good news. Renuka has recovered significantly and will get discharged in the next week. She is now fully conscious and responding to everyone. She even manages to have food on her own once in a while. Her husband Sramappa has been by her side all throughout. She undergoes physiotherapy sessions daily for the recovery from paralysis.

Once she is discharged, she will be needing home care for a few months. Please keep Renuka in your prayers and lets hope that she starts walking.

Dear supporters,

Renuka had a thrombosis in her brain, which in simple terms could be referred as 'brain attack'. This medical condition is mostly prevalent in pregnant women due to hormonal imbalances.

Renuka is currently out of coma. She is slowly responding by opening her eyes and nodding her head whenever we ask simple questions. Her left side of the body is paralysed because of the condition. Her left hand might not regain good strength and her left leg has shown small signs of improvement.  

Renuka might need two or three weeks of hospitalisation before discharging from hospital. She should also undergo physiotherapy for three months to be able to walk again.

Her husband Sriramappa and children are extremely grateful for all the support provided by the donors. Let's pray for Renuka's good health.
