Mr. Suresh Bandari, a Research Scientist at the Department of Pharmaceutics and Drug Delivery at Oxford University, Mississippi, has been admitted into BAPTIST MEMORIAL HOSPITAL, Memphis, TN, for more than a week. He was diagnosed with Cardiac Arrhythmia, and things started deteriorating at the beginning of this week with pleural effusion requiring drainage of the accumulated fluid from the lungs.

His situation is critical, and he is now on ventilator support, dialysis and continuous monitoring of his vitals.

His family consists of his wife, Pavani and two kids - Anish & Srihan.

Anish is 16 yrs old and just joined an undergraduate program this year at FIU.

Srihan is 12 yrs old and going to 7th-grade school.

At this moment, we want to extend our thoughts to the family members and hope for Suresh's speedy recovery.

As many of you can imagine, it will take a lot of endurance, love and support to get him back stronger than ever. We want to ask for your support during Suresh's continued recovery. No amount is too small. Anything you can give will help tremendously with Suresh's continuous hospital stay and recovery. Our best hope is that he'll get through this with the help of all his friends, family, and supporters.

The outpouring of support this family has received has helped us stay strong through this challenging situation. Thank you for your continued prayers!!!
