Long overdue updates
Dear All,
First sorry for delays on the update for so long on the blog.As many of us have been visiting her i Just got lil lazy in updates .
Monika has shows some V good progress in her recovery. She has been able to talk with better ease now after few speech therapy sessions.She is able to move her hand ,legs,fingers etc.
She has been able to take normal food through mouth
Her stitches were removed last week. and physiotherapy for her left leg and hands are happening.Her other vital signs has been good for a while. Doctors tried to make her sit on the beds edge but she still had some difficulty in doing that.
Doctors have planned a small surgery on This Friday(6/4) to remove her legs and pelvic support structures.
She was pleased to see all the people who has been visiting her . I would recommend that if you plan to visit her feel free to do so( try to strike some conversation with her beyond health ).
It helps to divert her thoughts to something different and at the same time it makes her feel better and supported.
Thanks

Need your support- a letter from Tomy
Hi all,
As most of you know, Monika Gupta was hit by a car and was on life support when she was first admitted to the hospital. Kevin Li & Nidhi Lakhwara have been providing us regular updates (via email and http://welovemonika.blogspot.com/) and when we heard she was out of ICU, some of us went to visit her. Her brother is the only family member who flew to US as soon as he was informed of the accident. I know there are quite a few people from Apple who visit her daily but I though it would be nice if most of us could spend one hour per week to cheer her up and support her brother at the same time (since she has no other family here). I also learned that her birthday was coming up and maybe that one hour could be your valuable gift to her in the time that she really needs some support.
If you are interested in visiting her, please let me know so I can work out the visiting calendar with Nidhi.
Thanks,
TomyD

5/20/2009 - it is a miracle
Tonight, visited Monika, Rajesh, Tomy, Robin, Karen, Nidhi and some other folks from finance team was there, Tomy's loudly sound seems cheer up Monika a lots and she waved her hand, I believe she recognized everyone of us .
She is happy to see all of us and excited , of course, later she was under the pain and sleep...
Ritesh and her brother stay with Monika and taking good care her.
It is a Miracle to see she recovered so well, I finally able to tell them what I had experienced in the fast night when I get phone call from hospital, when I first reach hospital, they told me Monika may not able to make it and need find her relative asap , I was making hopeless phone call one by one at that friday night and nobody response me or give me the contact at the first 2 hour, Nurse and police keep asking me where is her family ...that is such a bad feeling....,
later, everyone start to response and we are able to located her family , everyone start to gather at hospital... but Dr never give positive hint...
Her survive rate is 10%, a team of 15 doctors from stanford and Valley Medical center was fighting with Monika for her life, the rate increased to 50% after 2 days.. till now, she is out of ICU and able to talk with us...it is a miracle ...
there are flowers, toy around Monika, I have asked Ritesh to pass me a smiling Monika's picture, I will post it once I have it.
Next Week, it is Monika's Birthday , she deserve a big Party ...
If any of you plan to visit Monika during lunch or dinner time, it will be nice if you can take her brother or Ritesh out for lunch or coffee, give them a refresh , they need support as well.
