Wednesday 11/29 2pm: UW Medicine Move

GREAT NEWS! 

Kate has been moved to UW Medicine for Rehab.

New location directions:
UW Medicine 
Main Entrance 
Go to the right to Pacific Tower 
8th Floor 
Rm 806 

The journey to a full recovery changes today as she begins to take on many new challenges in rehab. We will update you with what visiting looks like with rehab starting tomorrow. She is most likely going to be a busy and tired girl but will still need and want her support team surrounding her! 

Thank for your continuous thoughts and prayers. We love each and everyone of you.

Kate Update 11/13 7:30 p.m.

Hello friends of Kate, We just wanted to share some of the highlights of today to let you all be a part of Kate's day.  Since this morning, Kate has seemingly regained some control of the left hand, giving a good "squeeze" on command.  When alert, she has nodded, said her name, and said "thank you" to an amazing nurse whom she has bonded with.  She seems to be listening and has responded to questions about where she is, "the hospital".  She is currently hooked up to an EEG machine for a 24 hour period to allow her team to monitor her brain activity while under video and audio surveillance. They are still doing infection protocol as she still is showing signs of infection. She's had fewer visitors today, which is what the nursing staff recommends and what will allow her brain the best chance of healing, but the visitor's lounge has been a mainstay for many. We're told that this journey of ups and downs is pretty typical for brain injury, bu...

Friends of Katie, We are writing as Wednesday 11/29 winds down.  It has been a whirlwind day filled with milestones and next steps.   The photo above is Katie arriving at UW Medical Center for what looks like a 3-4 week stay for in-patient rehab.  She is either flashing a V for victory sign, some unknown gang sign, or the universal sign that all beauticians know in the hair cutting world.... we clearly don't know but are thrilled that Katie has successfully graduated from Harborview to the next step in recovery. Over the past three days, Katie has made tremendous strides in her recovery. All of her doctors, nurses, and therapists have been so positive and encouraging that rehab was right around the corner and all they were waiting on was a bed opening up either at Harborview or UW...... and the UW it was!  Katie is now at the UW Medical Center is in room #806 using the Pacific Elevators.  Katie learned about her schedule the next three + weeks and ...

Katte Update - Friday November 17, 2017 - 11:20 pm

Friends of Kate,  Today was dramatically different from yesterday.   After a day filled with big milestones, Friday proved to be a day filled with frustration and confusion.   At one-point Katie was asked if she was experiencing any pain she said yes.  When asked what she needed, she simply said, “I need my freedom”.   She is thirsty, tired of lying in bed, hot with fever.  She is ready to go!  It was just a frustrating day for her….. Our prayer is for patience during this long fight.   Patience for Katie and patience for all of us.   The medical staff has been doing a balancing act between pain management, high fever, potential infection, elevated heart rate, low oxygen levels and continued issues in her gut.  Most of the above, we are learning is very normal for patients with head injuries.  We have heard it throughout our time here…..three steps forward, two steps back.  It is an up and...
