Both my grandparents were admitted to Pace hospitals on 10th May with severe COVID symptoms.
My Grandmom is 74 and obese. We were very worried for her, but she recovered soon to be charged. My Grandad was 77 and his condition escalated quickly with shortness of breadth and oxygen levels dropping to 85. He was a prostate cancer survivor and diabetic and he didn’t get vaccinated till then. He was admitted to the ICU at Pace hospitals. While we took second opinions of multiple pulmonologists in Hyderabad, none of them really gave us hope as his CT score was 21/25.
The 25 days that my Granddad spent in the ICU were very testing and nerve wrecking for our entire family. Thanks to the doctors and nursing staff at Pace hospitals as they took extremely good care of the patient, a case which other pulmonogists gave up on. My grand father is out of ICU, at home and fully recovering back to normal lifestyle. Dr.Dayanka was especially very supportive and took extremely good care of my Grand father. She ensured his case was discussed with the right set of doctors and constantly kept improving the treatment with new breakthroughs coming everyday for COVID.
Dr.Dayanka not only was a great medical advisor but also she counselled my Granddad to have hope and stay strong which is the most important thing in COVID recovery. She also gave immense emotional support and hope to my family that my Grand Dad will recover even though other doctors said otherwise. We really see this as a medical miracle, where my Granddad with no vaccine, diabetes and a cancer survivor has recovered, is home and is on the path to getting back to normal life. We are immensely Thankful to Mr.Govind Varma(Chairman),Mr.RP Singh(CEO), ICU doctors, nursing staff and especially Dr.Dayanka for taking exceptional care of Granddad and in aiding in his recovery.
