Sai Ram

 

I am Sai devotee since my childhood. My day starts

with Sai prayers. In every distress and trouble Sai

helps us always. On Sunday 3rd Sept, 2006, my Daddy

suddenly started getting hiccups. He took some home

medicine. The whole day he was getting hiccups

continuously for 2 - 2 ½ hours. They would stop for

some time and then start again for 2 - 2 ½ hours. As

it was Sunday, we telephoned the doctor. He told us to

give him one tablet.

 

He took the medicine but that did not help. On Monday

morning we took him to the doctor. He took the

prescribed medicine, had his lunch and went to sleep.

Usually he takes rest only for 2 hours, 1.30 pm to

3.30 pm. That day till 4 o’clock he was fast asleep,

it became 4.15 pm but there no sign of his waking up.

My sister and I called Daddy, he responded but turn

his side and again slept. We waited for another 15

minutes and again called him but again he changed the

side and slept.

 

We found something strange. Immediately we prepared

sugar water solution as Daddy is a diabetic patient,

but he refused to take it. Somehow we managed to make

him to sit and tried giving water but he threw it out

of his mouth. I went to call a nearby Doctor who

usually comes by 5.30 pm but luckily that day he was

there at 4.45 pm. The Doctor checked his diabetes on a

glucometer and said it had fallen to 20 and we should

rush him to the hospital.

 

Daddy had become semi unconscious. We called up our

cousin brother, who was luckily in a nearby area and

reached the hospital before us. Our neighbors helped

us to take Daddy to the hospital. Through the traffic

jam we managed to reach the hospital. My brother had

already met the doctor and kept things ready. Hospital

doctors immediately put him on glucose. Within ½ hour

after admission he became fully conscious and was

surprised that he was in the hospital. His condition

was diagnosed as pneumonia patch on his lungs,

starting of jaundice, chest congestion. The pneumonia

patch had touched the diaphragm, the reason for the

continuous hiccups. Because of all these internal

complications his sugar levels had become so low.

 

He was in the hospital for 8 days. Now, he is

completely all right. Doctors said diabetes count of

20 is too dangerous and at a count below 30, a person

cannot survive. That can even lead to some dangerous

side effects. Also, his pneumonia was detected on

time. Our saver Sai helped us.

 

When my daddy was in the hospital, one evening my

younger sister was returning home from the hospital.

Her leg got stuck in one pothole and she had a fall.

Her ankle got twisted and she was unable to get up.

She was crossing the lane. Suddenly one rickshaw stood

next to her and she somehow managed to get up and get

into the rickshaw. The rickshaw driver started the

rickshaw without asking her anything. After some time

she told him where to take her. She had fractured her

leg. After putting plaster on her leg for 1 ½ month,

she is okay now. From where did the rickshaw arrive

right on time? Who else other than Sai can send help.

 

By the grace of Baba, both my sister and daddy are

fine now.
