Monday August 24th Update

Kristen is doing absolutely amazing. She is progressing faster than the hospital imagined and was allowed to have non-hospital food last night. Her dream dinner was ravioli and minestrone soup from the Olive Garden. Visitations are very limited due to the risk of infection for all the patients in that area. She is in great spirits and has a good sense of humor.

Aug 22 Update

We hung out with Kristen for a couple of hours last night. She is in ggod spirits. She is progressing with her rehab. She told that all she wants right now is to go home and sleep in her bed (and a visit to the Starbucks in the hospital lobby).


The hospital allowed the firefighters from Engine 1 to visit her last night. They were the first EMT's to arrive at her accident scene. They had a good chat with her and gave her a SLCFD shirt.

August 21 Update

Kristen is resting and gaining strength. She is beginning her rehab and she is looking forward to getting out of the hospital sometime soon.
