Happy days will be here again

Friday, April 25th, 2008: Seattle: 9:00 AM: Shivam just got off oxygen monitoring. That's a very big achievement. His pneumonia looks to be on a downhill path. Fevers are still there. Though the intensity is lesser. Tummy pain is still there. Again, intensity is less. than before. It's still bloated, but less than before. NG tube (to drain out stomach's content via nose) is still there, but it's now on gravity and not on suction pump.

The doctor has also ordered a complete CT scan again to figure out where the little guy stands.

Here is a nice photo sent by Rutwick and Shilpa taken 2 weeks before Shivam was diagnosed with Leukemia.

Great news! Thanks again for the update Nikhil. I admire your mental toughness (which I am sure got way stronger over the past few days), but there has been a really positive attitude in how this is being handled. Shivam and your family are a great inspiration for a lot of us to face our own challenges in life. God bless you all!

Better times are definitely in store and round the corner. Our fingers and TOES are crossed till you come home with the same awesome smile and twinkle in your eyes (in the photo).
One can feel the divine energy created by the human chain (of friends around you) KEEPING VIGIL.
