Details
of
how
Faraaz's
health
condition
deteriorated
in
the
past
few
days
were
shared
by
his
family
members
Farhad
Abousher
and
Ahmed
Shamoon.
They
wrote
on
the
fundraising
page
that
Faraaz
had
been
suffering
from
a
cough
and
infection
in
his
chest
for
almost
a
year.
"The
coughing
worsened
recently
due
to
the
prevailing
pandemic.
Looking
at
his
condition
through
a
video
call,
a
doctor
recommended
that
he
should
get
admitted
to
a
hospital.
So,
immediately
we
called
for
an
ambulance.
However
what
happened
after
that
has
shaken
us
up
to
the
core," it
read.
The
post
continued,
"While
the
ambulance
was
on
its
way,
Faraaz
suddenly
suffered
a
seizure.
He
suddenly
started
shaking
uncontrollably
and
couldn't
control
his
movements
either.
As
soon
as
the
ambulance
arrived,
Faraaz
was
out
on
a
stretcher
and
was
being
lowered
into
the
ambulance
when
he
suffered
another
seizure.
As
the
ambulance
was
rushing
to
Vikram
Hospital,Bengaluru,
he
suffered
a
third
seizure
in
the
ambulance
in
such
a
short
time
span."
"Faraaz
was
admitted
to
the
emergency
ward
of
Vikram
hospital
where
we
found
out
that
he
suffered
three
consecutive
seizures
due
to
a
herpes
infection
in
his
brain
that
had
spread
from
his
chest.
Besides,
while
he
suffered
from
these
seizures,
he
swallowed
the
mucous
and
saliva
of
his
cough
which
entered
his
lungs
and
caused
pneumonia
in
there.
Because
of
this
his
blood
pressure
and
heartbeat
increased
massively
and
he
wasn't
able
to
breathe.
He
was
put
in
the
ICU
care
where
after
a
series
of
complicated
procedures
and
heavy
antibiotics
he
was
brought
to
stability," it
added.
The
fundraiser's
goal
is
Rs
25
lakh,
and
so
far,
around
Rs
2
lakh
has
been
generated.
