To all my well wishers, a big thank you for all the support so far both emotionally and financially. I would like to share an update on the progress of my liver transplant. My brother-in-law (sister's husband) had kindly consented to be the live donor from within the family. For last two months our families have been working very hard on the necessary legal paperwork. During this waiting period, to keep me alive, I have received numerous blood transfusions, plasma recycle, body fluid extraction, got impacted by hepatic encephalopathy, have been on ventilator ..... and have lost count on the number of times I had to be moved to the ICU based on emergency situations. My wife and children continue to live in hope in the hospital complex waiting for me to become normal, and our children continue to miss school too since last several weeks. The organ transplant NOC has finally been obtained on 31st October 2017. I now see a ray of hope for life looking forward to the transplant surgery happening very soon. Our relatives, friends, and well wishers have spent more than Rs. 26 lakhs so far to keep me alive. The actual transplant surgery cost, recovery stay in the hospital, and then the post operative care for nearly a month for my brother-in-law and about three months for me in Chennai is estimated to cost and additional 35-36 lakhs, which in fact is what we originally estimated as we had moved forward with the transplant plan. Our friends and extended family members have already stretched a lot to keep me alive, but we are struggling to arrange this additional 35-36 lakhs. I would have lost all hope and given up had it not been for my well wishers like you. I sincerely request all of you to please please help me with your urgent contributions so that my surgery can be done immediately. Thanking you all.
