Dear Supporter,

Manju visited the hospital on Thursday with her father and the last of her tubes was removed. The doctor did a checkup said she was perfectly fine, aside from the problem with her eyesight.

Babulal said Manju has regained her strength and is now just like she was before treatment. She no longer requires support to walk.

Unfortunately, due to damage to her optic nerves, the doctor explained that her eyesight may never return. Life ahead will undoubtedly be very challenging for Manju. :(

Manju is already showing great spirit and is starting to do basic tasks by herself. I hope she finds the strength and courage to deal with the challenges ahead.

Once again, Babulal and his family (and I) thank you all for your heartwarming and extremely valuable support. Your swift response has been incredibly important to maintaining Manju's good health and ridding her of a dangerous tumor.

Feel free to get in touch with me if you need Babulal's contact details to check on Manju in the future.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you all.

Dear Supporter,

Apologies for the delayed response.

• Initially, all tubes were removed and Manju's health was monitored overnight. After 6-7 hours, Manju had trouble breathing so doctors put the neck/chest tube back
• Doctor said breathing issue will take time to heal. Asked them to return after 15 days to get the last tube removed
• Cough issue has almost gone. Babulal rarely uses the suction machine now
• On the cancer front, the doctor said there's nothing to worry about. No new scans/tests were done
• Manju can finally eat with her mouth. Soon after the tube was removed, she gorged on some food :)

Right now, Manju is back at home with her family. She will be visiting the hospital again around Feb-20.

Please do get in touch if you need more information.

Thanks.

Warm Regards.

Dear Supporter,

Just a quick update:

Manju has been discharged from the hospital and is on her way home to Itwa.

She is yet to fully regain her physical strength and it will take her a few months to be able to walk again. She also has an issue with persistent cough. Doctors explained that both issues are typical for patients after brain surgery.

Manju continues to require tube feeding and a suction machine (for the cough). The doctor recommended keeping Manju in a clean environment at home and guided the family on how to take care of her.

She will return to Lucknow after two weeks for removal of tubes and checkup.

Please hope and pray for her speedy recovery.

Thanks so much!
