Subhabrata update


Posted Jun 13, 2009 by  Carol Forsloff in Health 10 comments
I have been in constant contact with Jayti, Sub's wife. They are about $150 short for the surgery which is anticipated mid month.
Anyone who can contribute, even a small amount, please check the other blog.
The details are clear this man is in trouble. I was surprised to see how few from the group responded. Hopefully, some might read this blog. I am maintaining a list of donations for thank you responses, as they can't correspond with everyone. It is hardly a sham and needs attention. He is one of us, and I believe we can help. Thanks to those who already have.

    Carol I just saw this but I have been in contact with you privately. Keep in touch to let me know what is going on.

    Cynthia,
    I am just getting ready to call on Skype now. He was scheduled for surgery today and then has to be in a nursing home. Thanks for helping. Due to the negligible response, except for you and a couple other folk, I am expanding my request to friends and family. I had hoped for a better response among Sub's colleagues here, but that is sad funds are so limited. He needed a total of $600, which is a relatively small amount. I asked for the accounting and know the balance left needed and sent more today. Anyone else who can help, I have the information available. He will die without surgery.

    I really wish I could have done more for him, Carol. It makes me feel bad that there wasn't more of a turn out for him.

    Cynthia--there were a total of four of us. I got your message. I am asking the group again, even $1 will help. I have never done this before and scarcely know how, but now I am asking others.

    There is little you kind ladies can do as individuals; but if you work to elect political leaders who are more concerned with the general welfare of people than for maximizing profits such situations could be ended forever...

    In the meantime, while we work for political leaders that are effective, we don't have time to save this man's life in the interim, without help.

    Latest update from Subhabrata. Those who contributed can feel good they helped save a man's life. Perhaps this response, and the initial information, is evidence that it is better to help if you can and to make a mistake if someone isn't in need, than to neglect to do so and have someone die as a result. In addition I wanted everyone to know our fellow citizen journalist will be back with us, and for that reason I am particularly delighted.

    Hello Carol,
    Subhabrata is back at home. His surgery is over and it is successful. It took around 1.5 hrs. The doctor said that his condition was at an alarming stage and it was surprising how he did not feel any symptoms. After the surgery his gall bladder which was removed from his body was shown to us. It was totally infected and rotten with innumerable small particle-like stones sticking all over the swelled walls of the bladder. He was undergone laparoscopy. He has got pain in his abdomen which is natural at this stage of recovery as we were told. Anyways, the surgery is successful and we are quite satisfied with his progress.
    I heard from my mom-in-law that you called up at our residence. I too was not available that day since I was staying with Subhabrata at the personal cabin of that nursing home. We received all your donations and others from Debra and Cynthia. And that's enough for us. We don't need anymore. You proved that you are real friends in need. It is because of you and your prayers and immense help that my husband is in this world. And now I know that my husband has got some friends who are Angels. I have no words to express my gratitude to all of you.
    Thank you so much. Thanks to all of you. I would write to Debra and Cynthia too. I tried to do it now but I am too busy with Subho's nursing and care till he is back to his normal condition. I just need some time.
    Take care and stay in touch
    - Jayati
