10-Month-Old Baby Girl Will Lose Her Limbs And Life To Gangrene

Story

“Her little fingers and toes have become completely black. Gangrene is eating away at her body. Her feet are swollen and she’s always in pain. She looks at us with her big eyes, pleading us to carry her, but we can’t even comfort her. She has tubes all over her body, stitches on her stomach and fear in her eyes.She lays on one side of her bed trembling and crying in pain, while all we can do is stand by her bedside and pray that she is saved from this trauma.”

It’s only now that 10-month-old Poorvi recognizes her parents. She has been so disoriented in the past two weeks that even her mother’s voice that once made her light up with joy, went ignored. Poorvi has been living with the trauma and pain of gangrene ever since she fell critically ill on May 28th. What started as a fever, soon turned into violent vomiting. Her little body lay weak and fragile in her father’s arms as he carried her to the hospital. In no time, her hands and feet started turned black and she was rushed to the PICU. Nagaraj and Sangeetha stood horrified as they realized that their baby was slipping away from them.

Baby Poorvi has symmetrical peripheral gangrene, dead tissue caused by lack of blood flow affecting fingers, toes and limbs. She also had bleeding in her intestine which was causing blood in her urine. She had surgery for the bleed yesterday, but she’s still not out of danger – gangrene still threatens her life.

How You Can Help

The only thing that can save Nagaraj and Sangeetha’s baby girl now is continued stay in the PICU. She needs to remain under strict observation for at least 7 more days before she can start recovering. Nagaraj works as a contractor and has already borrowed 4 lakhs for his baby’s treatment till now. He has no other way to save her and needs your help.

Dear Supporters,

Baby Poorvi has recovered almost fully. The doctors had to amputate her right leg and some of the fingers on the hands as the infection had spread beyond control. The skin around the same has healed and has got dry but the surgery has to be done to remove the swelling. We are yet to fix a date for it and have been consulting other Ayurvedic doctors for alternatives.

We thank you all for the contributions and support you have showed us till date. We are grateful for the same.

Regards,
Nagraj

Dear Supporters,
Thank you all for your support.

Baby Poorvi is at home and recovering well. We have started Ayurvedic treatment for her too.

However, she still needs support to make movements. She has a normal diet and she remains on bed-rest mostly.

It's still a long road ahead of us.
Thank you for your support up till now, we shall keep you all posted.

Thank you!
Regards,
Nagraj

Dear Donors,

We are glad to let you know that Poorvi has been discharged from the hospital. There has been tremendous improvement in her condition. The doctors have reported that gangrene is under control. She needs to come back to the hospital twice every week for injections that would help her complete the treatment. At present the doctors feel that a change from the hospital environment to home would help speedup the recovery.
We thank you are your you support and prayers.

Regards
Archana
