    Some progress at last

    I’m very happy to report that the amputation on Eki’s lower leg is healing well and that a recent infection seems to be under control. Progress has been made on arrangements for the transplant operation, and this is currently scheduled for next week (November 10th)

    We are making great progress on the Give-a-Little page and are now just $4,500 Short of our target to cover the cost of the kidney transplant operation.

    There are going to be some extra costs on top of this, including cost of several years worth of anti-rejection medication, that we will need to help them purchase before they leave India. But like our friends we just have to take one day at a time, and support the family’s decisions the best we can.

    Thank you so much for your generous support which has made the journey so far possible. We will see this through together.

    Thank you for your support and prayers for our much loved friends. There is some light at the end of the tunnel as they now have a donor for the kidney and an operation may be scheduled for late October / early November (we don’t have the exact date yet.)

    In the meantime the family are settling into life in New Delhi as they wait and as Eki recovers from the operation on his foot. We anticipate that they will need to stay for another month or two after the operation as Eki recovers from the transplant.

    Our current challenge is to find the rest of the money needed for the operation, we are so grateful for the many people who have donated to both this and to their living costs so far, our target is $14,000 and we are currently up to $2,593.50
