1-year-old is in A Coma Due to Brain Disease, His Parents are Struggling to Keep Him Alive

Yezhumalai and Banumathi were thrilled when Sai Harieush was born. Their family was finally complete their two beautiful children. Sadly, their happiness did not last. Who would imagine that their precious newborn baby would go into a coma just a few months after the birth? Sai has a very rare disease called ADEM (Acute Disseminated Encephalomyelitis) which affects the nervous system. He needs prolonged ventilator support until he recovers completely.

It started with a fever, but he soon went into the ICU for heart and lung infections

When Sai was 10-months-old he had a very high fever. His parents realized that it was not normal but never expected that he would soon fall so sick. Doctors found a drastic drop in blood pressure and he was immediately taken to pediatric ICU ward. He was given antibiotics for the infection in heart and lungs. But the infection soon affected his brain. Their life turned upside down in the blink of an eye. Every day, his condition kept deteriorating and his parents have endured a lot in the last few weeks.
