For the second month now, a young Georgian man, Giorgi, has been fighting for his life in intensive care. His heartbroken mother is paying 900 GEL per day for his treatment.

 REPOST RIGHT AWAY, MY GOOD MAN! HELP YOUR FRIENDS FIND THE WAY TO GOD!

In a Tbilisi ICU, 37-year-old Giorgi Jidjelava lies between life and death. His condition is critical. A sudden case of acute pancreatitis caused severe complications. In just a few weeks, he’s already undergone three surgeries, and doctors fear a fourth may be necessary. Tissue necrosis continues to destroy his internal organs—and every lost day could cost him his life.

The disease struck without warning. Giorgi was living like many Georgian men: working, planning to get married, living a clean and quiet life. When he began to feel unwell, he was hospitalized in Kutaisi – but the disease progressed so rapidly, he was transferred to Tbilisi.

It’s hard to believe, but there are less than two months between these two photos… God works in mysterious ways.  Please take care of yourselves, friends.

One day in ICU costs 900 GEL. For a family with no steady income and no state support, that’s an impossible amount.
 Their strength is running out. Giorgi’s mother and relatives have sold everything they could – because he wants to live!

“I flew in from Italy just to be near my dying son,” says his mother, Marine, crying so hard that it’s difficult to understand her words.

Marine Jijelava, 58, spent 12 years working abroad in Italy – as a nanny, caregiver, and cleaner – sending money home to support her children. But when her son got sick, she dropped everything and returned to Georgia. Now she lives at the hospital, in constant fear of hearing the worst…

“He’s my only son. Never married. No children. He lived alone, worked hard, never complained. Now he’s lying there helpless, covered in tubes… Everything went to his treatment, transport, medicine, hospital bills,” she says through tears.

The illness showed no mercy. And now the money has run out. They’ve sold everything, pawned everything – every last thing went toward saving Giorgi.

 “We can’t go on like this…”Those words from a mother might become a death sentence for her son.

The family submitted a funding request to the Ministry of Health, but they still haven’t received a reply.
 There’s no urgency there…Which means, friends, only we can help keep Giorgi alive. Even waking him from his medically induced coma too early could kill him. Doctors estimate he needs at least one to two more months – but no one in Georgia can say exactly how long. Transporting Giorgi abroad in his current condition could be fatal.

Doctors still don’t know what caused such a severe case of pancreatitis. Giorgi had no risk factors, no history of alcohol use, no bad habits.

Today, the family is not just asking for help with treatment – they’re asking for help to keep him alive. So he can remain in intensive care. So he can undergo one more, possibly life-saving surgery.

“Dear God, please… Save my son… He’s still so young…”

Marine stands helplessly in front of the doctors, not knowing how to pay for the next day. 900 GEL a day – that’s the price of his life. A price his mother can no longer afford. Please, friends – help Giorgi Jijelava. This isn’t just about medicine. It’s a fight for his life – his last chance.

What is acute pancreatitis?

Acute pancreatitis is a sudden inflammation of the pancreas. It’s typically accompanied by intense, radiating abdominal pain and, in some cases, can affect nearby or even distant organs and tissues. In the early stages, the inflammation is sterile (without infection), but later the damaged tissue can become infected.

If diagnosed and treated in time, mild forms can be managed successfully, and the patient recovers. However, severe cases can be life-threatening. Seeking medical help at the first signs greatly improves the chances of a good outcome.

Pancreatitis is more common in men, but women can also be affected. The average age of patients varies widely – from 30 to 70 – depending on the cause.

Among acute gastrointestinal conditions, pancreatitis ranks third, accounting for 12–13% of all emergency surgical cases.

Treatment

For mild cases, patients are treated in a hospital’s surgical department. If there are no complications requiring surgery, conservative treatment includes:

• fasting (no food or water);
• draining stomach contents with a tube (nasogastric decompression);
• applying cold to the abdomen;
• pain relief and antispasmodic medications;
• detox therapy (IV fluid infusions).

Moderate cases are also treated conservatively but require intensive care. Treatment includes all the components used in the therapy for mild cases of the disease. In addition to the above, treatment may include:

• medications that improve blood circulation;
• drugs to suppress pancreatic secretions;
• antioxidants and antihypoxants;
• aggressive IV detox therapy.

  

If fluid containing toxins accumulates in or around the pancreas, a laparoscopy may be needed to clean and disinfect the area.

Severe inflammation of pancreas requires intensive treatment in a specialized hospital. All of the measures mentioned above are used, with additional targeted therapies such as:

• hemosorption and plasmapheresis;
• fluid resuscitation to restore blood volume;
• antiplatelet therapy

If there are gallstones, areas of tissue death (pancreonecrosis), abscesses, cysts, or fluid build-up in or around the pancreas, surgery may be necessary. Depending on the complications, this may include:

• necrosectomy (removal of dead tissue);
• partial removal of the pancreas;
• drainage using an endoscope;
• marsupialization of a cyst (surgical opening and drainage);
• diagnostic and therapeutic laparoscopy.

Recovery and rehabilitation

Patients recovering from acute pancreatitis must follow a strict diet. Absolutely no alcohol, fatty, fried, or spicy foods – either regularly or in one large meal. Holiday feasts with rich, varied foods and overeating are strictly prohibited.

Recovery after surgery depending on scale may also include:

• limiting physical activity;
• maintenance medications;
• physical therapy;
• treatment at a rehabilitation center or health resort.
