It is said that difficulties make you stronger and better. It is so true, indeed! The Higher Power somehow gives you this inner strength to handle the situations well.
Things were going on smoothly at our end when yesterday the doctors dropped a bomb shell - the disease has relapsed! So, basically we are back to square one. It was really shocking for all of us; this was the last thing we expected. However, the best thing is that the "Birthday Boy" is cool. Kartik chooses to be calm and composed without being much disturbed. His smile is giving us courage to remain smiling and hopeful.
A close friend of Kartik visited us to wish him birthday and make us smile too!
Kartik's primary doctor is out of town so we will get the updates on further line of treatment only on Monday or Tuesday.
Thank you all for your continued support, prayers and encouragement. We will need these in plenty now. :-)
we pray almighty that this phase will also passes away shortly as he was succeeded in past.

Good to see Kartikbhai's photos. A smile is a curved line that can make everything straight.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations birthday boy! :)
ReplyDeleteNot sure if it is because of the relapse or what but your mustache is looking even more macho these days, too!

ReplyDeleteThe report we see is that of the last day of your 36 yrs. We expect to improve upon it in the new year. Could there be another auto transplant? We are sure and still pray Almighty for your health and happiness. Surabhi is really courageous. Keep it up.

When it rains.. it pours... like it is currently! But there is always Sunshine after the rain!
ReplyDeleteDon't lose that spirit, Kartik bhai & Surbhi! The Power of the Mind is unimaginable.
Hi Kartik and Surbhi:
