AMMA HAVING WATER IN HER LUNGS AND SUSHMITHA HAS SPOTTING FOR OVER A MONTH NOW

Sushmitha had spotting (little bleeding) for over a month now. I informed the matter with Dr Pushpa Kini. She told me to get her checked by Gynocologist and get the reports . I got her checked by Dr Sujatha and she told me everything looks Ok and gave me the reports. I took her to Manipal Hospital next week with the reports. Doctor told me since endometrical thickness is not mentioned clearly better to get checked by gynocologist again. Actually we went early in the morning at 9 AM. By the time we got blood and urine reports it was  12 AM and 12.30AM they would close. She was in a trolley and it was very difficult for her. Morover I had high fever but I felt helpless by the time they opened again at 3.30 PM there was many people waiting . They gave her preference but she passes urine and they needed full bladder for scan. We brought coconut water from outside and gave her but the bladder was not full. It was time to close . Sushmitha was also highly irritated for some reason and not able to sleep that day. The previous day also she was awake. Lastly Dr Pushpa Kini told me to give her some medicines priscribed by gynocologist. Some medicines just don't suit her  or else it is the change of well water she started having loose motions. Now after 4, 5 days she is better today.

I CANNOT SAVE SUSHMITHA'S EYE BUT I CAN HELP AMRITHA TO GET CURED FROM TUBERCULOSIS. I AM HELPLESS AGAIN

I have quite a few workers working in my house . Because taking care of Sushmitha is full time job. On nights she has to fed by rice tube which has to go slowly(nearly an hour). so there are shifts. I take care of them as I would do for my daughter. I know leaving home and staying in other peoples house is not easy. I buy them new clothes every month (almost) buy them Gold take home sweets eveyday.Most of all if somebody is ill I attend immediately. I realise that A new girl had cough problem for nearly 2 months (in between she was given medicines) but her cough was a little differrent(whooping cough). So cough that long doctor advised me to get checked in detail. By check up and X-ray she was found to have TB. Doctor told the infection spreads by air. So she needs isolation. She cannot sleep with other children . Doctor advised me to send her home or else she should be kept seperate. Doctor also told me she may not take treatment correctly if she was sent home. So I decided to keep her with me. But also taking precautions she doesn't spread the infection.
I asked other helpers they need not get afraid. I cannot cure Sushmitha but I can cure Amritha. But I have to be very carefull so that she doesn't spread the infection. It travels by air . So she was given seperate room. I asked her I want to cure her but I cannot risk other poeople. So almost everyday I took her to hospital because everyday i have to take her to take the tablets because they have to be very sure she was taking treatmnet. After one month slowly she gets cured I will inform her parents.She was not eating any vegetables so I told her to eat eggs daily. Now it is almost a month.She was given mask also. I feel she is better. Treatment is for six months.
            Sushmitha has cataract in another eye also. When I went for my eye check-up doctor (eye) told me You people are nicely takin taking care of Sushmitha. But DR Gurudhhth Kamath(eye surgeon who operated sushmitha) and doctor himself both feel operation is not advisable because we don't know how much she is benefitted. also her other eye is operated so unnecesary exposing her to anasthesia. Even Doctor Pushpa kini had told me the same. and her opinion is most valuable not that others opinion does not count. she knows what is best for her. But what about my promise to Sushmitha I will not allow anything happen to her . I am helpless
