Update of Katie's progress by Katie's mum:

Hi everyone - so far, so good! Things were a little rocky to start with at the new rehab center- Kat's in the brain injury unit and since her issues are very mild, she kind of feels like she doesn't belong there. However, she also seems to be taking charge of her recovery now - stating her goals and insisting that her treatment be focused on that - and that's a very good sign. Her dad says she's eating much better and the headaches are fewer. He reports that yesterday her speech was much more logical and words more accurate.

Kat now has her iPhone so she can call, text, email, etc. - so please get in touch/stay in touch if you want. Visitors are good, too! Just call ahead to make sure when she's available. Hours are 8 am to 8 pm and that's firm. Like most places, weekdays are busiest, weekends are slower.

I'm hoping to talk with the treatment team early next week and find out their assessment and plan. But everything is looking pretty good right now!

Your prayers, loving and healing thoughts and energy, and all good intentions are most helpful, welcome, and felt. If you've called me and I haven't called back, please know that I appreciate you and your support - you'll hear from me eventually.

One favor I would like to ask: I want very much to go back to visit Kat in the 6 weeks or so, before my university teaching duties kick back in, but my finances are very limited right now (esp. after the expensive emergency trip), and I don't have credit cards. I do have an account with Points.com and a friend of mine told me that people who want to donate some of their points from frequent-purchaser programs to me, can do so. That would make it possible for me to afford another flight to Syracuse. If anyone knows hows the system works to donate points, please email me OFF this site (sally_stanton@yahoo.com) with info.

Thanks in advance if you are able to help me with this, either with information or by donating points!
