Day 9

Namaste,

The latest on Razaa is that her milk intake is increased to 5ml every
two hours. She has also gained 10gms of weight, which is a very positive
sign. The doctors and we all are very hopeful and optimistic. She is
also off the ventilator, which means that she is breathing on her own.

On the flip side - she is still fighting jaundice. The treatment for
jaundice is photo therapy and that is one of the reasons she is not able
to gain a lot of weight. Her jaundice levels are on the border (between
9-10). If it goes beyond 10 then she would require another blood
transfusion. She also has some infection. The doctors have changed her
anti-biotic and are hopeful that she would respond to the new medicines.
Another thing that this tiny being is fighting is some heart problem. I
don't have a lot of details on that except that there are some holes in
her heart (which is common in new born babies). Generally, these holes
are fixed by itself and the doctors are waiting for that to happen for
her.

One more news is that today was the first day when my sister was allowed
to hold Razaa for a while. It was a very touching moment for her and she
cried when she held her.

Once again, we have a lot of Faith in your healing prayers and are so
grateful to all of you for doing this for us.

Many Thanks and love,
Gagan
