After weeks of considerable worry about Fitsum’s progress, we received this good news from his treating physician in India yesterday:

“Apologies for the late response….As mentioned in our previous conversation, the patient’s weight is paramount, and I am happy to inform you that Mr. Fitsum is gaining weight and has attained his pre-transplant weight. His blood counts are steadily improving, and we are hoping to be able to send him home by the end of this year. I am truly amazed by your keen interest in his recovery.

Regards,

Dr. Sohini Chattopadhyay, M.D., D.M.,

Assistant Professor,

Dept Of Hematology”

Thanks to every person who has contributed in gifts or prayers to Fitsum’s recovery so far! Let’s keep it up! We are committed to giving the hospital an additional $14,256 beyond what we have raised so far. Please spread the word to give this young man a second shot at life!
