The Longest Week of My Life

Posted on October 26, 2010

On Sunday October 17th everything seemed to be normal. My father went to the nearby shop with my daughter and they came back with some chips in hand and my daughter in her Nanas lap!

By 9.00 pm he went upstairs feeling a little unwell.

By 5.00 am Monday morning he was in ICU.

Bacterial Meningitis was the diagnosis by 5.30 pm on Monday.

He responded to the drugs well.

He came back home yesterday quite well but very fragile.

The hospital was Columbia-Asia.

I will hold Dr. Sunil Singla in the image of God.

More later.
