Kochi: Innocent kept his word given to Denoy Thomas who got a new lease of life after undergoing heart transplantation. When the actor had first met Kalamassery native Denoy (30) at the Lisie Hospital here two months ago, Denoy was in a state of depression after being directed by doctors to undergo heart transplantation.
Innocent, who had recuperated from cancer and heart disease, boosted Denoy’s morale that with his witty tips then. Denoy believes this prepared his mind for letting the body undergo a complex surgery procedure.
Innocent left on September 19 after visiting Denoy and confidently saying that he will soon get a donor and he will come to meet Denoy after the transplantation. Innocent’s words did not go waste.
That night itself a message came to the hospital from Thrissur Elite Hospital saying that the relatives of Ayyanthol native, brain dead Libu (40) are ready to donate his organs. Later the heart was transplanted by a team of doctors led by Dr Jose Chacko Periyapuram at Lisie hospital. Recuperated, Denoy left the hospital on October 23.
Innocent came on Friday to the hospital from the shooting set of ‘Mannar Mathai Speaking-2’ after knowing that Denoy had come to the hospital for a checkup.
