Update on Ankit...

This in from Baisali yesterday:

I also wanted to let you all know that Phulinder called. He wanted to inform me about Ankit's progress. Ankit is doing well...he's running about, playing and doing everything a three-year old child should be doing. The joy in his voice was unmistakeable.

Congratulations team! A super success story, in my book! Thank you especially to Sangeeta and Panchtatwa.

And from Team India Helps: Thank you Baisali for being on the case and Ahana's case even though you were going through such a difficult time. Thank you Santanu Ghose for bringing Ankit to our attention and following through on this case despite your own personal stress. And a big big thank you to Sangeeta and Panchtatva for their prompt help to Ankit, thanks to them a boy has now got a shot at a normal life.

Here's Ankit, post op.

From Santanu Ghose, Kolkata, pictures of little Ankit finally able to stand straight after being operated. Hopefully in few months we should get pictures of Ankit walking and running.

A big thank you toSantanu Ghose, Panchtatva and Baisali for making this possible...

Update from Kolkata

This just in from Baisali:

1) Ankit
Santanu called this morning. He said that Phulwinder (Ankit's father) called him and the operation was a success! Ankit is in the ICU now and the doctors from Germany will be staying on till Friday to monitor his progress. Phulwinder is expected to get an estimate from the hospital this evening regarding the next lot of expenses.


2) Ahana
Yesterday, Purnima brought Ahana to Apollo Hospital to get her stomach pipe changed. My friend, Dr. Gupta checked her and then referred her to his colleagues in the Gastro dept. I was in the hospital at the time so I was there. The tube was not available initially but they sent for it and came by the evening, by which time I had left. The procedure took only five minutes and Purnima even fed Ahana there to make sure everything was ok.


From Team India Helps a big big Thank You to Panchtatva for both Ankit and Ahana.
