Firstly, I just want to say thank you for all your help.
The service we received was very good. From the day we arrived, the speed in which your team started working on Dad and to the day we left India was very professional.
What was mentioned on the package was indeed what we received. Dr Ramji was always there to offer support and insight into the operation. He was always available on request even when Tatenda arrived later after the operation. Also, to get the best cardiac surgeon was comforting as my dad was in safe hands.
The ICU staff performed their work beyond expectation. They were always there watching over him every minute which was impressive. The international relations office was very supportive. Special mention to Ritu and the international relations manager (sorry i cannot spell his name) who went beyond their mandate.
The security staff at the hospital were our little angels as each time we left Dad's bed they would ask where we were going, "have you had anything to eat, have you slept". This was very humbling. Special mention to the security guy at the hospital entrance who offered his help when we needed to direct a taxi to the hospital.
Thank you for the help and support you have shown us from the beginning to the end. There were days when we did not know what to do or what to think but your just being there made every situation better. Being in a foreign country and not knowing anyone can be hard on an individual but you have shown us that having just one friend can make a difference. Ritu Thank you.
Dad is recovering well. He is resting most of the time but he is getting better with each day. You are angels sent from above May the Almighty continue to bless you beyond limits.
