After being admitted in the ICU of a hospital in Al Qusais for around 10 days, Husna was shifted to Al Qassimi Hospital in Sharjah. "She was kept on a ventilator for almost a week after which she started breathing on her own, but doctors have said chances of her full recovery are bleak and if at all she does, she will be severely handicapped. We have now brought her home and she will need to be fed through a nasal tube for two weeks. After that a paediatric surgeon will surgically put a food pipe through her stomach as nasal pipe cannot be put for more than 14 days because it could lead to infections," her father Abdul Haseeb, who is in the business of transporting goods, told Khaleej Times.
Speaking about their predicament, Haseeb said: "It pains me to see my little girl lying in a vegetative state. One day before the freak accident, we had celebrated her birthday, dressed her up in new clothes and got her gifts. She looked so happy and now although she opens her eyes, she cannot move her limbs. There is only one expression on her face which reflects she is in pain."
Haseeb now has a pending bill of around Dh90,000 after getting discounts from both the hospitals. (email saman@khaleejtimes.com or contact the toddler's father at 052 649 8889).
"Although we are told our daughter will never be able to make full recovery, my wife and our family have immense faith in Allah. He is the one who gives and takes life. We all are praying, doing what we can for her treatment and trusting that Allah will do what is best for us. We have faith that one day our beautiful daughter will recover and run, walk and talk normally."
