4/5/26 Update

Some updates for today!

Ankush was on the surgery schedule, but the doctors have decided to pause for now to give him the best possible chance at recovery. Some of the immunotherapy medications he was taking could interfere with healing, so those are being adjusted. He also needs to be a bit more coherent, and the steroids appear to be helping with that. At this point, surgery is still expected to take place within the next week or so.

With the surgery postponed, the hope is that he’ll be discharged from the hospital within the next day or two. Instead of returning home, the plan is for him to transition to a rehabilitation facility, which will provide the level of care he needs and be the best option for both he and Ellie.

There isn’t a plan to allow visitors anytime soon. Ellie and Ankush deserve as much uninterrupted time together as possible, and they don’t need us getting in the way. 🙂
