Based on Chapter 34, what was the family's state of mind and reasoning for finally deciding to take their ailing child to see Sai Baba in Shirdi?

As depicted in Chapter 34, the family's decision to visit Shirdi was born from a state of complete desperation and helplessness. They had witnessed the failure of all possible medical interventions, including those from expert surgeons, to cure their son's painful bone-cyst. The text notes that the relatives were worried as the boy was 'suffering and distressed.' When they heard of Sai Maharaj, a famous 'Avaliya' (saint) in Shirdi, a new hope emerged. Their reasoning, as captured in Chapter 34, was that of a last resort: 'Let us go and bow at his feet; let us try this last resort. Perhaps this calamity will be averted.' They believed that if this great saint applied Udi with his own hand, even an incurable disease could perish, and felt they had nothing to lose by trying.
