“All my wife thinks about is how she can’t do all the things that a mother gets to do. She can’t feed them, hold them or protect them. We can barely touch them without putting"
Tulsi and Arup's baby boy
An emergency delivery was their only chance, but they need help to get stronger and make it
“It was the seventh month of pregnancy, and she was glowing with health. Till then checkups only meant we could see our babies one more time. But this time was different. They told us one of the babies wasn’t growing at all. Blood flow had stopped to her body, and if they weren’t delivered soon, both the babies' and my wife’s life would be in danger.”
Tulsi and Arup's baby girl
Tulsi and Arup’s twin babies were born two months premature and extremely underweight. Their baby girl was only 700 gms at birth. The baby boy and girl both struggled to breathe and were quickly rushed to the NICU and placed on ventilator support. The emergency C-section was crucial for their survival, but the twins need to stay in the NICU for longer to get stronger and completely recover.
The babies have been suffering from the second they were born
Arup and Tulsi’s babies are only 5 days old. In such a short span, they have experienced a world of pain. While the heartbroken parents watch them through the glass of the incubator, they can’t help but wonder if they’ll ever hold them again.“Their life began in pain and as parents, we couldn’t do anything to protect them from that. I feel like I’ve failed my children already. Now, they’re off the ventilator but still need oxygen support to breathe. Every day they’re reaching small milestones, all on their own. They can get better, but even a small infection can be fatal at this point."
Arup can’t afford to pay Rs 60,000 per day to save his babies, no matter how hard he tries
After an unimaginable turn of fate, their emotional and financial struggles are never-ending. The daily medical expenses for each baby is almost 30,000, which is almost three times what Arup earns from his job at a private company every month.“My monthly income just isn’t enough now.The last two years have been tough for us. While we were earning enough to get by, we were never able to save much because of my accident and then falling sick because of dengue. 12 lakhs is an unimaginable amount for us, but without it, we'll lose both our babies."
