Krishna Karina

[Guest guest]

Krishna Karina

 

We request everyone to pray for Krishna Karina, daughter of Dhiru and

Nirmala Patel. She is in the hospital after having had walking

pneumonia for a couple of months. The doctor missed the diagnosis

earlier and the disease went much further than it should have.

 

There was a surgery to remove fiber from her lung three days ago that

only had a ten per cent survival rate. She pulled through, and next

day there was another surgery to remove more fluid from her lung. The

third day (yesterday, Wednesday), the doctors wanted to remove more,

but she got a fever and lots of pain. They have to give morphine and

much antibiotics. Lung is filling up again. Her situation is very

dangerous.

 

Her father, Dhiru, used his home as the first ISKCON temple in Zambia

many years ago. As a local motel owner, Dhiru has rendered many,

many services to the temple, including keeping Bhagavad Gita in all

the rooms.

 

On a trip to Mayapur, Krishna Karina was conceived. She is viewed by

her parents as a gift from God. Her one brother is 15 years older

than she. She is a very Krishna Conscious young lady. She always

insists on coming to the temple. She always gives donation of big

bottles of coins she gets from the guests at the motel.

June of 2005.

Each time before surgery and going under the anesthesia she will lead

all the people in the room, parents, relatives and nurses, doctors to

chant “Hare Krishna”.

 

Now needed surgery is stopped because of extra pain, infection, and

weakened condition.

 

Please pray for her and to give her parents the strength.
