Today was our 44th Marriage Anniversary. We had to attend a dinner in the Fountain Lawns in the India International Center in connection with the wedding reception of the son of Sh Rangan Dutta IAS(Rtd), a friend of mine. We met quite a few friends and celebrated our Anniversary quietly without anyone coming to know of it. We liked Jain Food served in the reception.
Visited AIIMS along with Pradeep Bhatnagar and showed the blood and slide study report to Dr Renu Saxsena, hamotologist. She said that the treatment of Yash was on the correct line. Even if Yash is admitted in AIIMS, he will be given the same treatment which has been given/is being given in Fortis Noida.Of course the cost in AIIMS will be much less.We have to decide whether we would like him to be admitted in AIIMS.Pradeep said that it was better that Yash continued in Noida and goes to Fortis for transfusion of platelets or blood whenever required.The blood donors all are available in Noida and may be difficult to find them in Delhi.At present the donors come from Pradeep`s office.We will have to watch Yash for 3 months and thereafter take the advice of Dr Renu Saxsena for further treatment ,if necessary.

He is inside the room since the process of ATG injections started. Met Dr.Ojha and he said that Yash could go back home after the course of injections was over. There was minor bleeding at the time of setting Cather. It made Gita quite disturbed. I consoled her and told that it was not at all serious, that she should be cheerful before Yash. After Yash shifts to home he will have to come to the hospital when transfusion of blood/platelates become necessary. All precautions have to be taken so that Yash does not get infection.
