Silently, I will plan the rewrite by identifying the core elements: Who (Swarna Akter, Nur Nahar, husband Russel), What (Nur Nahar suffering from measles, lack of medical and financial support from husband, mother’s struggle), When (Tuesday, recent past, current situation), Where (Maha­khali Infectious Diseases Hospital, Keraniganj, Kishoreganj, Dhaka Medical College Hospital), Why (Husband’s refusal to help, financial hardship, severity of illness, broader measles outbreak).

I will then outline the structure:
1. **Lead Paragraph:** Combine Who, What, When, Where, Why into a compelling summary.
2. **Mother’s plight:** Detail Swarna Akter’s journey, the nebulizer scene, her husband’s abandonment, her financial struggles (borrowed money, lack of food).
3. **Child’s condition:** Expand on Nur Nahar’s symptoms, low weight, previous diagnosis of pneumonia, and failed treatments.
4. **Husband’s behavior:** Elaborate on Russel’s refusal to pay, domestic violence, and financial pressure on Swarna.
5. **Broader context:** Integrate the hospital’s data on measles cases, deaths, and the geographical spread of patients, including the supervisor’s advice.
6. **Uncertain future:** Conclude with Swarna’s desperation and lack of options.

Throughout the rewrite, I will focus on:
* Transforming reported speech and internal thoughts into objective narrative.
* Integrating statistics into prose.
* Maintaining a professional, objective tone.
* Using double line breaks between paragraphs.
* Ensuring flawless English and engaging AP-style journalism.
