Can you describe the parents' state of mind when they decided to visit Sai Baba in Shirdi?

As detailed in Chapter 34, the parents of the sick child were in a state of utter desperation and helplessness. They had watched their young son suffer immensely from a bone-cyst, and every medical remedy, including those from expert surgeons, had failed. Their relatives were worried, and even prayers to their deities seemed to bring no relief. It was only when they heard of Sai Baba of Shirdi that a glimmer of hope appeared. They decided to visit him as a 'last resort,' clinging to the belief that this great saint's Udi could cure incurable diseases. Their journey was thus fueled by profound distress and a final, desperate hope for a miracle.
