On May 28th, which happens to be our wedding day, my daughter started experiencing fever for the first time, and this continued with her vomiting once a day and feeling worn out for the rest of the day.

3. We visited a hospital since my child was finding it difficult to breathe. They only gave a 6-hour guarantee for her life and advised us to take her to a bigger hospital. We then visited Kauvery Hospital. Rafitha was diagnosed with citrullinemia, and liver transplant surgery was the only option for a permanent cure. Though I was hesitant about the surgery, I wanted it to be done fast since she rapidly lost weight. I accepted to be the donor for my child. One of the liver transplant specialists in Kauvery Hospital, Dr. Elankumaran, gave me confidence and hope about the treatment for my child.

4. It is pretty challenging to perform the surgery on a child with less than 10kg. Still, Dr. Elankumaran completed the surgery without any complications, and as requested by me, the surgery was performed in Trichy. After getting discharged, she started feeling normal within two days, and now my child is healthy. Thanks to Kauvery Hospital!
