There were waves of happiness running in the family when the doctors confirmed Nehal’s pregnancy and indicated that it could be twins. The countdown began and the expecting couple Dipesh and Nehal Shah were excited about welcoming the little ones and entering parenthood.
It could have been happily ever after for Nehal and Dipesh, but it was not. Everything went fine until one day when Nehal had to be admitted to hospital due to uneasiness. The troubles increased when she was diagnosed with dilation of the cervix. Moreover, she suffered an infection in the uterus, which could spread to the babies. With no other option left, the couple decided on premature delivery by C-Section. The times ahead were going to be difficult.
Nehal delivered premature underweight twins - the boy weighed 710 gms and the girl weighed 680 gms with respiratory distress and risk of sepsis. The infants are undergoing treatment in the Newborn Intensive Care Unit (NICU) on mechanical ventilator support and IV fluids.
With their birth started their battle for survival. Since birth, the babies have been suffering from severe breathing trouble.
Nehal had conceived for the second time after ten years of marriage. The couple was delighted to enter parenthood, but their struggle goes on….
For Nehal and Dipesh, each day passes by filled with despair and hope, looking at the babies helplessly. The couple did not imagine such misfortune. They never thought they would see their kids in such a pitiable condition since birth.
However, there is hope. The infants are positively responding to the treatment. Doctors have recorded gain in their weight. Their respiratory system is recovering, and they are partially able to breathe on their own. But they still have a long way to go.
Nehal and Dipesh have put in 8 lakhs in treatment but need further expensive medical procedures urgently, or the couple loses their children again. Dipesh has been juggling between work and hospital trying to arrange funds for new treatment. But there isn’t much he can do with his means.
Nehal longs to hold the babies in her hands and take them home. Your contribution can ensure a happy childhood for the babies.
