Brief background:
Mukesh was tested covid-19 positive on 29th April and was facing mild fever. His saturation levels started decreasing and he needed to be hospitalized and put on oxygen support on 4th May at FLEVA Hospital, Kothapet. Eventually he was shifted to Virinchi and Medisys were further treatments. In Medisys he is on Ventilator since 23rd May and was done Tracheostomy for better chances. Since there was no improvement doctors suggested for ECMO and was shifted to Apollo Hospitals on 30th May. But Doctors said even ECMO would not improve his damaged lungs,  Lung transplantation is only the way for us to save his life. Currently, he is on ventilator support,
