Update as of 19th June, 21:
Doctors have performed CT pulmonary angio and it suggests complete fibrosis in both the lungs. As per doctor's recommendation, it is highly unlikely that it will be possible to treat or reduce fibrosis. The hospital is in search for donors and will proceed with lungs transplant as soon as they find a matching donor.
We have attached the report of the CT PA done today
As of 16th June, 21:
After our previous collection with this campaign, we were able to manage Devanad's treatment for the past month. We saw good recovery in his health till June 8th when he was shifted to General ward with no ECMO or Ventilator support required. As you'd have seen in our weekly updates, he was conscious and well, communicating with family and friends with gestures over video calls
However, the next day there were some compications caused by blood clot in his artery. This caused a cardiac arrest and his condition spiraled down after that. The doctors rushed him back to ICU and were able to handle the situation.
Currently Devanand is back on ECMO and Ventilator support and his condition is not improving. After analysis and attempt at treating via medicine Doctors have concluded that lung transplant is our only option at treating Devanand. In order to proceed with the Lung transplant, we would require to raise more funds as the family has already exhausted most of their saving towards the treatment till now.
Till date we have incurred the following expenses :
- Initial Treatment in his hometown(Akola): ~5Lakhs
- Transport to Hyderabad via Air Ambulance: 23.5Lakhs
- Treatment of Devanand in KIMS hospital(15th May- 15th June): ~45Lakhs
- Advance deposit towards Lung transplant: 30Lakhs
We have received the following estimate from KIMS Hospital to proceed with the process of Lung transplant:
- Surgery cost: 45-55 L (advance payment of 30Lakhs)
- Transporting the organ via air ambulance (basis location of donor ): 15-20 L
- 1.5 months minimum treatment after surgery at KIMS : ~1.5L/day = ~65 L
Apart from this fundraiser we were able to collect 30Lakhs in Devanand's father's account through donations from family and friends.
Funds raised as part of first campaign: ~98 Lakhs
Total expenses incurred till date: ~1.03 Cr
Further expenses estimated: ~1.15 Cr
