Soumya Kumari is trying to raise funds for her father, D. Dinesh Kumar who is in the Medical ICU of CARE Hospital, Banjara hills, Hyderabad. For more than 25 years, father has dedicated his youth to service in the Indian Army. He bravely fought in the Kargil War's front lines, but he is now so ill that he is in a fight for his life and can hardly breathe on his own.
He was admitted to the emergency room with Acute decompensated heart failure(ADHF), breathlessness along with a history of blood stained cough, high grade fever with chills. Initially, my father was kept on oxygen support, after CT scan of chest, it showed an extensive case of H1N1 pneumonia in lungs with severe ARDS (Acute respiratory distress syndrome). So, He was shifted to MICU, overtime breathlessness increased so he was put on Ventilation support. After one day of worsening oxygenation, he had to be on dialysis as he also suffered with significant kidney and liver damage. Since there is a risk that his lungs might suffer additional damage and develop holes from constant use of 100% pressure of ventilation air, we are unable to continue his lung treatment by keeping him on ventilation. In order to stop multiple organ failure, we're told to arrange ECMO life support. His chance of survival is very good provided he receives the funds on time for arranging the ECMO machine.
The initial amount to install ECMO is 15 lakhs and daily expense of the treatment is 2-4 Lakhs. As ECMO will be utilised for 3-4 weeks minimum depending on how rapidly his lungs heal, the hospital has informally stated that the cost of the procedure could reach Rs.1 Cr or more. We are helpless at this point and exhausted by all means. We urgently need help and support to save his life. Please do not let a mishap be caused by a lack of funds; if it is, it will follow us around for the rest of our life. I will post my hospital bills on public drive, and they will serve as justification for every expense that your hard-earned money was used for here. Please help us by making a donation and spreading the word so that it reaches maximum people who can help us tide this unprecedented crisis. No Contribution is small. Any contribution will be of immense help. Your donation has the power to help us move closer to our goal amount and save my dad's life.
