Monique is making great progress now that she is out of the hospital. She is sleeping a lot and allowing her body to just heal. As some of you know there is a donation account that has been created for Monique at Wells Fargo. Please review the previous blog post for details. We are encouraging all to make a donation of any amount to help Monique through these hard times financially. Thank you so

Today was a monumental day as Monique left CPMC! I met her at CPMC and with barely any help from the PT staff, we were able to get her in in my car. She did most of it herself and it is incredible how mobile she has become. She will be staying at her dear friends' Tyler and Johnny's in Novato for a couple of weeks. She still has to be non-weight bearing on her right leg for two more weeks.

It has been awhile since I posted an update. Monique is doing amazing! Her recovery has increased two-fold. She is walking and able to do so much on her own! She has decreased her pain medication significantly and is working really hard. The best news is that she is leaving CPMC on Monday. She will be living in Novato and will need a ton of support once she is on her own. As a lot of you know,

Monique is making great progress and is actually starting to walk a bit as well as do many more things on her own. She is going to have knee surgery tomorrow, which was always part of the plan but just a question as to when. The orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Kevin Louie, feels that it is important to do it sooner then later. The goal being to get her knee as functional as possible. She will be gone

Hi Everyone, Mo's rehabilitation is fully underway and she really misses everyone and welcomes short visits. Her PT and OT schedule keep her busy during the day but staff wants a warm family atmosphere at all times. Best visiting times are before 9am, 12:30-1:30pm and after 6pm. Please contact her at mnpetrov@gmail.com. Thank you for your patience. Adam

Please see the attached email that Pete has written to spread out to the greater community about Monique's Donation Account. This is directed at some of Monique's fan sites including Face Book, but I think it is nice to share on the blog too. Thank you Pete.......

Hi, Just a quick update that Monique was transferred yesterday to a rehab facility at CPMC. She is at the Davies Campus in the city. CPMC Davies Campus Davies North Tower Castro & Duboce Streets San Francisco, CA 94114 415-600-0200 This is great news as it was not supposed to happen to later this week. She will have PT every morning for a few hours and in the afternoon...long, hard days! I

It is hard to believe that it has already been a week....Monique has made so much headway. The best news is that she is out of the ICU and making some great progress. She is eating solid foods, has had one of her chest tubes removed and been fitted with a thoracic/cervicle brace. The PT had her standing for a few moments too! She is amazing, but this is no surprise! As much as all of you want

I am not sure why people are not able to post...I am trying to fix that, so sorry. Also, the account transfer number for non-Wells Fargo bankers was missing a number. The transfer number is ACH121042882. We are trying to see how to make this account tax-deductable. Thanks for your patience. Sandy

I saw Monique this morning. Her sisters left today and her parents are still here. She was alert and talking more strongly. Her swelling (mostly from surgeries) has gone down tremendously. She is looking more like herself. :) She is able to have slightly more movement even though she is still in a great deal of pain. Monique has heard about all the Facebook postings and the blog and was really

 Danielle Cane so kindly set-up this donation account for Monique. We are also in the process of brainstorming ideas for some fundraising events for Mo,  It is at Wells Fargo Bank, and the account # is:9918242042.  It is called the Monique Petrov Donation Account.  There are several ways a person can contribute money.   If you are a Wells customer, you can transfer money into the account online.
