Kartik is not exercising his grey matter much these days so I have taken the reins of writing. He is on book reading spree though (mostly fictions) and watches TV once in a while.
Those of you who are interested in meeting Kartik, here is the closest you could get to meet him presently. He is posing for this photo while receiving a bag of platelets. He needs platelet transfusion once every 3-4 days.
On WBC's front, it is still status quo. The more we worry about the growth of WBC's, the more they make us worry. So I guess it is not worth brooding over. We leave that to doctors! The doctors do not seem to be perturbed. However, instead of speculating things, they are planning to conduct Bone Marrow Examination so that they could get first hand report on the marrow.
I thought I will sign off by showing you a short video of our surroundings. Here is the video clip which we captured a few hours back.
Pune remains mostly clouded these days. Showers are the frequent and regular visitors these days which is evident from the flowing waters in the river. This is Deccan Gymkhana /Karve Road area of Pune which is always bustling with traffic. The weather does sometimes reminds us of Seattle.
I think with the prayers of all around, with the amazing patience and persistence that both of you have shown, it is just a matter of time before Kartik will be at home, fully free of the days of the "daily neutrophil counts"...
ReplyDeleteGreat to get the updates and see the video! Have not been to Pune in a looooong time .. so this was nice! Sitting in Seattle I could be in India via the video for a min and 10 secs!
ReplyDeleteThank you.
With positive vibes from Seattle as always,
Love, Chandana
Yeah, let them(WBCs) grow on their own pace. SB, the video is very nice. The muLa/muththa river is running with all the forces, which says nothing is constant... I am sure this time will also pass/fly by.
ReplyDeleteDear Kartikbhai,
ReplyDeleteIt is understandable that you feel bored now with the stay having been so long.
It is said that challenges are like washing machines and we, like clothes. They may toss us around, but if you trust God, He will make you come out brighter from the machine!
I shall communicate with you via email too. Will see if we can meet you using our built-in webcam. You can then witness Saamarthya's maha-pranks. He keeps remembering your name regularly.
Mayurakaki might just drop-in to give Kokilakaki company until you're back to Torana. Good on ya!
