On the road to recovery

Hello, this is Kaytie's sister Colleen, and mother Nancy. After a very long 10 hour surgery yesterday, both surgeons felt the surgery went as well as possible. With the common issues of pain and nausea now more under control, she's on the road to recovery. Today she had physical therapy ( my favorite😉) and got out of bed and up in a chair for an hour. There are lots of tubes and lines to manage and they are monitoring the skin and bone graft very closely this week to assure success. We are all very greatful for such an amazing medical team and for the continuous outpouring of love and support from so many. We couldn't do it without you! This is going to be a long recovery so keep it coming! Xoxo C & NNP ( nurse nancy pants)

    You all have been in my prayers every day. If anyone can beat this and come out strong it is Kaytie. I admire the strength and support that you all have for her. There is nothing better for her recovery than knowing that you are by her side. Take care of yourselves and please tell Kaytie that I love her. Lisa

    Thanks, Colleen and "Nurse Nancy Pants" for posting this update on Kaytie. Been thinking about all of you and happy to hear that all went well. Kaytie is very resilient and will amaze us all yet again with her recovery! And, she has her own private DPT and loads of people praying for her. She is one amazing girl. Tell her I send my love, prayers and support! Love you all! Betsy

    Kaytie is so well loved. She's such a bright light for all who know her. Love and thoughts and prayers to you, her family, as you walk this agonzing journey with her. Is she well enough for visitors? And are you all up for them? This whole process is so exhausting for you who are with her 24/7. My heart goes out to all of you...
