I've had this monstera for over a year now, fairly shaded area in my living room. This spring I decided to put it in the sunroom (gets super humid and sunny) so I figured it would like that.

I only had it there for a day, when I saw it and she was completely scorched Crying It was too late when realized and it was so bad.

I brought it back in, but is there any hope it will survive? And if there is what can I do to improve the chances? Sighing!

Yeah It will survive but those leaves will eventually be toast (no pun intended). Just leave them until you get new growth, or until they decide to fall off on their own, the undamaged portions can still photosynthesize. YOu can start your plant out in the non-sunny portion of the sunroom and gradually over a period of time move it closer and closer to the direct light. Its called acclimating. It gets the plant accustomed to receiving more light gradually so that its not a big shock to it.
Just continue the care you have been giving it all along, I would decrease the fertilizer until you have new leaves that can utilize it better than these damaged leaves.
