I want to thank everyone for caring and calling to check on us.
Unfortunately, I don’t have time to make any calls back since I need to help Guy and talk to so many doctors and specialist about his condition.
I am not sure what you know about Guy’s accident and I can’t say I know all the details yet. All I can say for now is that he fell from 25-30 feet.
He is now being at Intensive care to make sure he will be able to breath.
He will undergo a 10-12 hours (more or less) complicated head surgery, since his facial bones broke in so many places.
I will try to update the blog after the surgery and let you know how it went.
It has been a long long day and is seems like it started weeks ago.
I also need to give some attention to Shira our 2.5 years old daughter which misses him (and me) very much.
I will appreciate your comments and regards at the blog instead of calling for the time being, because I’m overloaded with everything, and can’t handle that too.
Guy can’t see people for the next week at least, but I know and he also told me a few times that he misses the company of you guys, and will love to hear all you have to say about him :-)
I promise you that I will read it to Guy whenever I can
Please pray for us.
Adi

Hi Guy,
First of course, good luck the surgery and quick recovery. When Adi told me that you might be bored, I wasn’t sure you can hold a book now, so I suggested that we, your friends will help by reading you books. But science fiction???? Who knows, maybe you will wake up from the surgery with a different taste in literature: Might make it easier for me. But I’ll be satisfied if you just wake up the same way you were before the accident.
Hope to see you soon, Holding my finger crossed praying and all the “gesheft”

Hi Guy
sitting here in Tel Aviv is quite frustrating since i cant see you or can't talk to you. now that i can write it's nice, but yet, writing in English is not the best way for me to express myself. we are all very worried here and in N.Y. and though i know you are hundeling this amazingly, it still hard for me to know that you are lying in a hospital bad, injured. i'm very happy that ima is over there with you, and though it sounds like you have many friends around you i think it's very important that she is there. yesterday my last semester started and it was hard to go to school. every new semester is hard for me but now i have more things on my mind. but the good thing is that my mean cold heart teacher who i dont like very much, was very nice to me because he heard about my brother, so thank you. and to Adi- i cant imagine what you must be going through,i wish i could do something to help you.i hear that you are very strong.I'm happy for guy that he has you. mybe you'll get a "Mordillo" book after all of this will end (ask guy for explanation and if he doesnt remember i"ll write the meaning of it next time). well Guy, i'll finish now. i hope you manage to read between the lines because this is what i really ment.
love, Ada.
Guy,
As the first of your reports from PayPal to leave a comment on your blog, I feel I have a special honor. As part of that honor, I think I'll go right ahead and say, on behalf of everyone else:
We miss you, get well, and don't worry about we underlings 'cause we're carrying on the spirit of GROM. :)

hey Guy,
i have to say reading the first couple of posts on this blog was very uplifting - i'm awed by your bravery and amazed by your sense of humor. i'm keeping our fingers crossed for the surgery.
ah yes, and this blog just made it to the top of my Favorites list. yey! ;)
lots of love from Yuval & I,
Anat
Hi Guy,
Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to heal to a point where I can unleash my dumb elephant jokes upon you, and you can laugh at them. (Er, these are not jokes about dumb elephants--regrettably, these are simply dumb jokes about elephants. It's a Smith family tradition, you might say.) I continue to pray for a speedy recovery for you and your family.
Hi Adi,
How wonderful it is to have family near at times like this! Know also that you have a network of nearly maniacal Guy fans at PayPal that may be of service if you need things here and there. I am one of them.

Hi Guy,
I'm sorry to hear about your accident and wish you the best of luck with the recovery. You were, and continue to be, one of the kindest and most personable people at PP. You will be in my thoughts and I hope for a speedy recovery.
Hello Guy,
I wish you a quick and speedy recovery! Take your time to heal properly though. I'm sure many of us at PayPal look forward to seeing you again soon, we want to see you well and healthy!
We'll do coffee again when you get back. Take care!
You don't know me, but I am Kristy Fong's aunt (co-worker). I just wanted you to know we are praying for all of you; for the doctors' steady hands, strength for all of you, and a speedy recovery!
Guy, your soul and body are strong and your family, friends and co-workers are so loving. And I hear those Stanford folks are miracle makers. You will be healthy soon - and I have a feeling that will be sooner than the best expectations. We miss and love you, man.
Hey Guy,
I'm shocked to hear about this. I hope that in the end everything is 'repairable' and wish you a successful surgery. After all the pain and suffering is gone you will be back to your normal self in no time.
And Adi - hang in there - everything is gonna be okay very soon!
Amir Hermelin.
Hi Guy
Sorry about not being able to join Inbal on Saturday but someone had to sit with Natalie.
Good luck on your upcoming surgery, hope for your speedy recovery. My hope is that sooner than later you will be able to try kick my ass playing X-BOX FIFA2006 but I will give you a good fight.
Best of luck

גיא,
ההיכרות שלי אתיך מסתכמת בכמה משחקי אקסבוקס אצל האילנים (שברובם, אם אני זוכר טוב, אתה ניצחת), איזה כוסית או שתיים של וויסקי (שאתה הבאת) ובזה שהילדים שלנו היו אמורים ללכת ביחד להופעה של דיסני על הקרח, יחד עם העמיברים.
מהמעט שיצא לנו לתקשר, ניראה היה לי שאתה אדם על-הכיפאק, ואם לשפוט מהתגובות החמות של החברים שלך בבלוג הזה, צדקתי מאד.
אף אחד לא משלה את עצמו שהולך להיות לך קל, אבל די ברור שעם מערכת החברים והתמיכה שיש לך, זה הולך להיות לך הרבה פחות קשה.
נמשיך לעקוב אחרי ההתקדמות, ולהחזיק לך אצבעות.
שיהיה לך בהצלחה, אין לי ספק שיותר בקרוב מאשר ברחוק תוכל
to look back and laugh
על כל העניין הזה.
יישר כח,
חן דרורי
Guy-
Sorry to hear about your accident. I hope you have a speedy recovery. Be sure to let me know if there's anything I can help with!

Guy,
Well, I must say I was scared shitless when Matthew called me Friday night and there was much less news than there is now. But now that the road sounds surmountable I have little doubt that you will work your way through this and resume life full on, probably faster than the doctors will expect! Not to trivialize the road ahead but... it is a great relief.
I love the story your brother wrote about your composure during your motorcycle accident and everything I've been hearing from people sounds like this has been quite similar. I'm sure this is scary but the way you handle it is inspirational, and I think we are all luckier to have you than we realize.
I wish I wasn't in Austin right now. I'm thinking of you and wish you all the best tomorrow. Will see you soon.
Love you man,
James
Adi,
What a tough time for you as well. I keep hearing how impressed people are by your strength and support during this -- Guy and Shira are lucky to have you!
Thinking of you too and wishing you all the best. Take good care of Guy for us :-)
James
Hey Guy,
We miss you very much here at eBay and if I could name everyone who enquired about you so far, I bet I'd have to write another blog by itself here...We are still shocked to know that this actually happened, we will continue to pray for your recovery and for Adi & Shira :) Can't wait to see you back in action, buddie!! :)
Hi Adi,
Our best wishes and prayers are with you and Shira and as Owen said dont forget that you have an extended family here at eBay & PayPal for your support and praying for Guy's recovery!!
Best Wishes,
-V
Hi Guy,
So sorry to hear about the accident and hope you have a very successful surgery!
Hi Adi,
I have a 4-year old daugther. She is very friendly and love to play with girls. So if you want, I can help to watch your daughter during the weekend. Please let me know.
take care,
Qingyang
Guy, be strong and get better! You can do it!
Guy,
We miss your fun, humor, spirit around the office. It is not the same without you here. Reading the comments and stories, it is clear that your strength and sense of humor have touched many people, including all of us at PP. And those same qualities will carry you through this as well.
We are praying for your speedy recovery.
Take care!
Deb
Guy,
We just heard about what happened and are still shocked.
We wish you all the best and good luck in the surgery, and will come visit you as soon as it's not a burden for you.
We cross our fingers and hope all will be fine.
Dear Adi,
We are here to help in any way - emotional, functional, whatever - just let us know if you need anything.
Lots of love and courage to both of you and Shira too!
Danielle and Yair Harel.
Guy,
We check out the blog every hour, trying to get more updates about your condition while reading your friends comments.
We are looking forward for the surgery to be over successfully, and wish you to come back home as soon as possible.
Adi,
Stay strong!
Thinking of you,
Tamar and Yaniv
Hi Guy and Adi,
I am so sorry about the accident. I hope that you will have a speedy recovery so that you can be with your friends and family in a more joyous setting again. I'm sure that your surgery tomorrow will go well since you are strong-willed and so the strength in you will help carry you throughout this trying time.
Adi, I haven't met you yet since I have only been at PayPal for a few months. But I can only imagine what you are going through and still trying to take care of Shira. (I have a 2.5 year old myself). Stay strong!
God Bless. Best wishes.

הי עדי וגיא, נורא ואיום לשמוע כאלה מין חדשות. התרגלנו שיש רק חדשות טובות מכם, מעבר לים. אין לנו דרך ממשית לעזור, רק לשלוח את איחולי ההחלמה ואהבתנו הרבה. כל הכבוד על העלאת הבלוג לאויר, כך באמת אפשר להתעדכן על מצבכם בלי להפריע לתהליך ההחלמה המאד לא קל ממילא. מקוים לשמוע שהמצב ישתפר במהרה. מקוים שהחברים האמריקאים יתמכו כמו שהיינו אנחנו תומכים בכם אילו הייתם פה. אם יש משהו שאנחנו נוכל לסייע בו, בשמחה. איחולי החלמה, צביה עידו הילה ורוני גילדור
