After receiving a skin graft on his face and receiving his head and hands from his mother Manisha (age 30), the infant recovered from what could have been a fatal injury.

Everything went black for a while, then wrapped around their residence. Manisha grabbed Diyansh and ran through thick smoke and flames from the building, making it almost impossible for her to see anything. The heat left the mother and child with serious burns. “There were moments when I thought we wouldn't make it, but I had to do it for the kids.

The recovery of the child and mother was satisfying. ”“Dr. Kapil's involvement as a father has been extremely helpful.
