He has been unwell for quite some time now and we had to rush him to the hospital after he had high fever. He underwent bone marrow transplant on Thursday and is taking shots on his spine. He will be discharged only after a month or so and the medication will continue for a couple of years or more depending on his recovery. He has been on saline and will soon begin his medication. The doctors have also suggested chemotherapy. We have been assured that it's curable, which is a blessing in disguise."
