Nakuul Mehta’s wife Jankee pens emotional note for son after he was diagnosed with Covid-19
Television actor Nakuul Mehta’s 11-month-old son Sufi tested positive for Covid-19 recently. Actor’s wife, singer Jankee Parekh penned an emotional note on Instagram for son, addressing his illness and expressing her emotions over the incident.
Two weeks ago Nakuul too was tested positive for the novel virus.
In her post, Jankee wrote, “I somewhere always knew that a virus-like Covid will get to most of us sooner or later, but what actually went down last week was something I did not foresee. While most of you may know that my husband tested positive 2 weeks ago, I also got the symptoms a couple of days later. I thought not attending my sister’s wedding was the worse that covid could do to me, not realizing that what I was about to experience in the coming week were to be the hardest days of my life, yet.”
Jankee further talked about Sufi’s medical condition and how he had to be hospitalized as his fever refused to go down. She added to her note, “Sufi started developing fever a day after I tested positive & it refused to come down in spite of water sponges & medication.
We rushed him in the middle of the night to the hospital when his fever crossed 104.2 & what followed were very hard days in the Covid ICU with my baby boy. My fighter went through it all. Right from being rushed to the hospital in an ambulance, to him getting pricked 3 IVS, a bunch of blood tests, RTPCR, bottles of saline, antibiotics & injections to get his body temperature down. Sometimes, I wonder how did this tiny human get so much strength to face all of it?”
“His fever finally broke after 3 days,” the singer stated.
Jankee further stated how her body eventually started giving up as she too was infected by the virus and it was making it harder for her to take care of her infant. Then she thanked a bunch of people including her nanny and the hospital staff for helping her out throughout the time.
The singer also advised her fans to take extra care if they are with babies. She said that even though Omicron is mild only for adults, kids are not strong enough to fight it. “Our babies cannot wear masks or get vaccinated so we need to be all the more cautious as we are coming back home to them. The idea of sharing this fight has been to make sure I can extend this awareness, even if it’s to just 1 more parent,” she wrote.
