Visit to Vellore

Sankaran and I got a chance to meet with Rajesh and his dad during one of their regular check up visits to Vellore.

I was really happy to see the progress he has made. From all accounts, he is making very good progress. His counts, even those from his current visit, are all healthy. He seems to have gained back some of the weight he had lost. His walking has also improved tremendously. Sankaran and I spent the entire day with him. We all visited the Golden Temple at Sripuram. Rajesh, proudly, gave us a tour of the facilities that CMC has put together for their BMT patients. Also had the pleasure of meeting Mrs. Chandy, who Rajesh affectionately calls his God Mother. After spending a few minutes with her, we can now understand why. She is such a selfless lady devoting her time to boost the morale of all the patients, young and old. I was really moved by the little patients, that were at the play room. I have promised to do toy drive (new, used, unused) and ship it to her, to benefit her play room.

As his one year anniversary of the transplant approaches (Jun 27th), we should all continue to pray that he stays on this course to recovery and there are no more setbacks for him.

Here are some photos from this trip
