Update

Ten days back, Rajesh fell down outside the house when he was going for a check-up and hurt his back. He was bed-ridden for a few days with acute back pain. He went thru some physio-therapy and massage and is ok now. His walking is still wobbly(like a 9 month old baby as he puts it). Fortunately he didn't fracture any bones as that would have complicated matters.

Back home

Folks,

Rajesh has been discharged (released, as he puts it) from the hospital. He is really thrilled to be back home. It was really nice talking to him. Just being home seems to have lifted his spirits. He sounded much more energetic. Hope his recovery continues to improve from this point forward.

He is still walking with a crutch. The lesions, though lesser in size, continue to be there. But the doctors are hopeful that oral antibiotics should continue to work on those. His apetite is almost back to normal levels.

Rajesh Update

Rajesh is feeling and sounding much better now. He is able to walk without a walker but with a walking stick. His food intake has improved also. The hand twitching has reduced too. If not for the antibiotics treatment regimen, he would have gone home already. They will be doing a MRI on monday and most likely he will be discharged on wednesday. They are planning to go to Palghat after Rishi's exams.

Update

This update is based on a conversation with Rajesh's dad. He seems to be getting much better. His marked improvement is being attributed to his appettite slowly getting back to normal levels. He has gained some strength and has put on some much needed weight. He is able to walk for extended stretches with the help of just one crutch.

His counts are holding up very well. He is scheduled for an MRI in the next 10 days or so, to monitor the lesions that he had inside his head. If the antibiotics have taken care of the problem and the lesions are not seen anymore, he is looking at a discharge in the next 10 days. This is definitely a positive sign.

His dad specifically attributed his rejuvenated outlook to the visit of Shivkumar and all the nostalgic talk that was exchanged. Kudos to him for taking the time.
