Hi,

I am sure many of us are waiting for an update with regards to Vasudha.
I received a mail from Mr Vikram Rawat, (Vasudhas father)and sharing
some of the excerpts
----------------------------------------------
It gives me great pleasure and satisfaction to convey to you that we
had been able to implant cochlear to Vasudha., My entire family is
greatly thankful for your help and moral support.

The date of surgery and depositing of money was fixed by Dr. R.C. Deka
on 11th of December. I went to Delhi along with my family Rajni ,my wife
,Vasudha and her 3 years old younger sister Cheshta. The final date of
operation was fixed on 14th and Vasudha was admitted to Hospital on
13th. Since implants are very sensitive to infection so Vasudha was kept
in isolation room. Even Parent are not allowed to enter the rooms
without masks on the face. On 14th she was taken to operation theatre at
8.20 A.M and brought back at 2.20 P.M.. She remained unconscious for 5
hour after 2.20 P.M. She recovered nicely. Dr. R.C. Deka performed the
surgery and Dr. Shyam and Dr. Mohnish assisted him. Dr. Mohnish a
very young and energetic doctor took every care of Vasudha. The
hospital staff was very caring and helpful.

Now she is fully recovered. Her implant and external equipments shall
start working on 12th of January, and this will be followed by regular
trips to Delhi for therapy and mapping etc. in the next 1~2 years. The
sound of this world would break her silence on 12th, and we hope she
would start hearing us. The identification of voices and reaction would
take couple of months like a new born baby, may be years, but we are
quite confident, if her implant work properly ,we’d put our all out
efforts for rehabilitation of Vasudha.

----------------------------------------------

We will soon be putting up names of the contributors who helped in this
initiative. The family still requires support and those of you who are
