We kept him under observation in ICU care and are happy to report that the newly transplanted lungs are responding well in the patient.

Balakrishnan said, "It is a testimony to the sincerity and skill of our nurses in Chennai that this child is alive today. It is a Herculean task anywhere in the world to keep such a small child on ventilator for 3 years without any complications. Interestingly, the nurses have learnt to speak a few words of Russian and the boy understands common words in Tamil!"Speaking on their experience, Master Nazar's parents said, "We would like to thank the clinical team led by Dr. Balakrishnan and Dr. Suresh Rao at MGM Healthcare for giving our son a fresh lease of life. We would like to extend our gratitude to the nursing team for their diligent service during these testing times for us and to Trastan and NOTTO and the donor family for this extremely generous gift."The hospital further said that the child is currently off the ventilator and on minimal oxygen support.
