Hazeqa Kapadia spent over two months in the hospital, of which four weeks were spent in a coma.
Eight-year-old Hazeqa Kapadia, who was injured in a freak accident when a 2-kg tava thrown carelessly out of a highrise in Madanpura fell on her head, went home on Monday.
She spent over two months in the hospital, of which four weeks were spent in a coma. The tava fell from the upper floors of the high-rise Danish Villa in Nagpada where the girl lives.
While doctors at the Bombay Hospital in Marine Lines have termed her recovery miraculous, she will still need considerable physiotherapy to improve her balance and coordination.
Dr Keki Turel, the neurosurgeon who operated on her said, “She is mentally sound and her recollection is good but physically she will continue to need some support and help.” The freak incident has shocked the doctor as well who said, “The tava fell from such a height and was so heavy that the skull fracture was least of our problems. The concern was how it would have affected the fibre track in the brain but the latest MRI shows that her recovery is very good.”
The girl’s father Faizan Kapadia said, “I want the person responsible for the accident to come forward and take responsibility. I am ready to forgive him/her. My daughter went through so much trauma and the least he/she could have done was stand by during the time of the treatment.”
Hazeqa’s treatment has so far cost over Rs 10 lakh. While the doctors operated on her pro bono, there were several individual contributions that the family received.
The student of class III at St Joseph’s school in Agripada will now continue her physiotherapy at Nair hospital in Mumbai Central. “Police have got no leads yet. However, initial investigations have revealed that the tava could have fallen from as high as 13 floor of the building,” Faizan said.
