VADODARA: He is the youngest entrant at the GMERS, Gotri Hospital. And so, when six-month-old Hussain was brought to the special paediatric room behind ICU-3, all the attendants whispered a silent prayer for his well-being.
However, quite on the contrary, the infant has come as ray of sunshine to the ward, dispelling all negative vibes. His sweet innocence has come as a whiff off fresh air bringing smiles to tired faces, and in fact, many vow, Hussain has become a stress buster for them in times of crisis.
Hussain, who is asymptomatic, was referred to the hospital from Halol community health centre after he tested positive for Covid-19 on Saturday.
Hussain’s grandfather and uncle had tested positive for Covid-19 earlier. The grandfather who had been ill for a while was the first person to test positive in the family followed by the uncle and then Hussain.
“My nephew has no symptoms at all. It is difficult to believe that he has been infected. Even the doctors are surprised at this. While three of us have been hospitalized, three other family members are home quarantined,” said the uncle.
Hussain’s mother was staying with him at the hospital along with another relative. The uncle himself has no symptoms and said that he was perfectly healthy.
Such is his joyful nature, that many videos are circulating on him on social media. In the videos, a man can be heard saying ‘Positive bachchu aayu chhe’, where the positive here only refers to Hussain’s joviality and not about his Covid-19 positive status.
“The infant is asymptomatic and very stable and is recovering in a special paediatric room behind ICU-3. He’s a delight for the resident doctors and the nursing staff who frequently go to see and take care of him. Hussain is being breastfed by his mother following all the required protocols,” said Dr Minoo Patel, advisor of Covid-19 hospital at GMERS Medical College and Hospital.
“He is the youngest entrant at our hospital and everybody in our team is delighted to care for this bouncy baby. We are all praying for his speedy recovery,” said Dr Nimisha Pandya, nodal officer and in-charge paediatrician.
