Monday :
"Happy birthday bhai, i know its late for your birthday wish ", these words woke me up, i saw watch and it was 7:30 AM morning. I gave tired smile to him because yesterday's event didn't let me sleep whole night. I said while consoling my self and Sudeep " We will celebrate my birthday after he comes from unconscious state and he will come back to again light-up our life " . Actually Rajdeep was in state of just before of comma and there was high chance of slipping in coma however I was reluctant to accept this but anything was possible at that time and I had to accept the result if it would have happened. Slipping in coma would have made the case worst because coming back from comma is very rare especially in Hepatic Encephalopathy. We were just praying. It was 12:30 PM, Sudeep came from hospital and said " Dr has said - " There is no improvement and no deterioration and we are closely watching each movement. Just pray for him. Next 24 hrs is very crucial for him" ". I didn't ask anything to him and went to canteen to had lunch along with him. "Lots of carelessness from doctors side led this situation to occur" he started the conversation after completion of lunch. " Today's Doctors don't know anything, they just go in medical college to have romance " i said in reply forgetting Sudeep is in final year of medical college. He looked at me and said "Yes you are right but not all do this." and he smiled. I too smiled on his argument and it was rarest moment of being happy for few seconds in that situation. At evening, Sudeep's phone rang while flashing Hospital's contact number on display. He looked terrified and which made me more worried. He picked the phone and I tried to understand conversation. After completion of phone, he said " Nurse ( who was in charge of taking care of Rajdeep) in ICU has called me immediately " said tensely. I had no words to say. He said " Go to parents room if something happens you need to be there " and i accepted his advise. After half an hour i got call from Sudeep, i picked phone while clearly i could see my hand shivering, "His status is same but we have a problem here and you come in front of hospital I am there" he said and i felt much needed relief. "We have big problem now" he said when i came close to him. "What " i said in reply. " His hemoglobin has come down drastically from yesterday and he requires 2 bottles of fresh blood right now to keep fighting for life " he continued. "There is a blood bank in this hospital but we need fresh blood which means donor should have donated blood with in 24 hrs and we have to arrange donor right now". " I can give blood, lets go to blood bank and have a check" i said as fast as possible and went to blood bank. Unfortunately my and Sudeep' blood group didn't match with rajdeep. We looked hopelessly to each other, we had to arrange donor anyhow. We started to make calls separately to our friends or relative if they could give blood of required blood group and it was urgent. After putting much effort, Sudeep convinced his school friends ( who were in ranchi at that time) to donate blood of required blood group. Few minutes later, they were in hospital. There was natural joy and sign of relief on our face while seeing them although we had knew, we had to be prepared for facing such difficult situation in coming days. After donation of blood, these guys went to respective home and we thanked them by heart. I saw my wristwatch and it was showing 11:45 pm. Sudeep kept hand on my shoulder and said " More tough and difficult situation can come" I nodded.
Tuesday :
"There is still no sign of improvement but positive side is no deterioration either " Sudeep said to me on breakfast table. "I think if he survives today, we have a chance to save him and I do believe in miracles" he continued while taking tea ship. " Every second seems to be a year here and it kills me" I said to him in sad tone. "How much we are paying now for his treatment" a question cropped in my mind and i directed it to Sudeep. "You won't believe, its 22K per day" he said in reply. "Ohhh !!! " I exclaimed. "Actually hospital charges are not adding much but cost of his medicines are around roughly 15k". " Live saving drugs are of different kind, These drugs are only made for these patients because his liver is completely damaged and these drugs normally do not affect liver." he continued. Actually he was suffering from acute liver failure which causes liver to stop functioning in normal way and hence stopping from doing detoxification of food waste. Ammonia Gas was spreading fast in his body through bloods which was major concerned to doctors. " Even if he comes from unconscious state, he can suffer from complete memory loss or paralysis " Sudeep said. " Ohhh God !!" i couldn't utter any more. "Toxic gases can seize his mind and can make permanent damage". " Lest hope for the best" he concluded the conversation. Entire rest of the day Rajdeep's status was same.
Wednesday :
No much big problem had come today and his health status continued to be same throughout this day. Today was comparatively peaceful day.
