Katie had a number of procedures done yesterday and she responded well. The focus yesterday was on reconstructive surgeries to her head. Her left eye is not responding and the doctors think she may have some sight loss in that eye. Her nose will require more surgery in about 6 months. She will require further reconstructive surgery and eventually plastic surgery down the road. Katie is still in an induced coma.
The family has been very impressed with the hospital and doctors and nurses who are working with Katie. Tara continues to stay at the Ronald MacDonald House close to the hospital. Masie is doing well and has been staying with Tara's aunt. The family is very grateful for everyone's love and support.

Surgery
Katie will have her first major surgery tomorrow morning. The doctors hope to make bone structure repairs to her skull and forehead and look for signs of any other head damage. The surgery is expected to last approximately 10 hours. Please keep Katie in your thoughts and prayers tomorrow.
Katie and her daughter, Masie, were in a serious car accident on February 23rd. Masie is doing very well and was released from the hospital the same night. Katie sustained serious injuries to her head and neck and is currently at Inova Fairfax Hospital in Virginia. This blog was created to keep friends and family informed about Katie's recovery. Please email me or leave a comment if you have information or links that would be good to include on this website.
