9/17 - morning rounds update

Steve, Kat's dad, explained yesterday that the family gets the most information about Kat's current condition every morning when the ICU finishes their rounds.  Because of that, I will most likely be updating this each morning.

Kat's dad just texted with the update for today.  

"They upped her eye score to E2 based on opening her eyes twice on command overnight.  It'll go up if she starts doing it consistently.  They say she still has some sedatives in her system from yesterday, so expecting more responsiveness once 24 hrs have passed (early pm).  She's off the respirator - just an oxygen mask over the tracheotemy with little more oxygen than normal (28% vs 21%).  Planning an MRI today, but not yet schedule...[there is a] CT scan on Monday.  Planning another chest x-ray, and then maybe remove chest tube."

I also received another text from Steve while working on this post that said: she just opened her eyes again! :):):)

Our dear friend is rallying.  You are welcome to visit her from 11am-830pm, but please be sure to check in with her family in the waiting room so they know who is with her.

Keep it up, Kat.  We love you!

Kat's Story

Kat was injured in a motorcycle accident on September 12. She's been admitted into the iCU trauma unit at Christiana hospital in critical condition.

Kat is a wonderful woman. She is a devoted mom to her 14 year old son, Tyler. She has a wide array of interests, including motorcycles, tattoos, reggae music, hanging out with friends on the beach, fishing, hiking, being goofy with her friends and family, and taking killer selfies.

This page is dedicated to Kat, as she recovers from her injuries, and is a place for her friends and family to receive information on her progress.

We love you Kat, and we are all here for you as you recover.

Kat and her awesome son, Tyler
