A year has passed and Katlyn Fleury continues her climb to recovery.  For anyone who has suffered a traumatic brain injury its effects can be life changing. The recovery process can take weeks, months or years and [...]

They weren’t kidding when they all said a year ago “it’s a marathon, not a sprint”.  Although, there are times when I feel like she isn’t recovering fast enough I am reminded of the progress she has made in just the last 8 months.  She has been taking some steps with her left leg [...]

When I look back just 6 months ago at what Katlyn was like when we first came home in January I am amazed at how far she’s come.  Back then her Neurosurgeon told me “she’s exceeded our expectations” and for reasons you wouldn’t understand this comment was bittersweet because I KNEW Katlyn WOULD continue to [...]

Wants to thank absolutely EVERYONE in this past year who has made a difference big or small in all our lives.  Thank you all so much for all the support and prayers, and all that you have contributed to Katlyn’s Climb to recovery.  Whether it be helping out any number of Katlyn’s family with food, [...]

I have been racking my brain to find the right words to express how Katlyn is coming along.  She is a fast learner, when given new tasks to complete it only takes showing her a few times before she can do it independently.  Katlyn’s days without therapy are soon to be over.  We had a [...]

Hope everyone had a great Easter weekend, it was great to spend it at home with family.  It was a much needed visit for Kate who overtime becomes depressed and ready to give up.  Luckily, this is usually short lived and she snaps out of it relatively quickly.  I was reminded of how far [...]

Top of the mornin to ya, Happy St. Patrick’s Day!  Well we tried but the stars just weren’t aligned, we were unable to get Kate admitted to a rehab.  We were discharged Monday night and all our previous services are now in place and she has already received physical and speech therapies.  She still battles [...]

Surgery went well!  Katlyn is still dealing with a lot of headaches but we hope it is just related to the surgery and will soon be a thing of the past.  We have seen more of Kate shine through today, smiling and showing us her sense of humor.  We are still here at the Golisano [...]

To Katlyn’s many supporters:   We are all still attempting to get a routine down here at home and FINALLY receiving some outside help.  Katlyn continues to progress slowly but consistently and appears to be making progress despite the diagnosis of hydrocephalus.  She continues to push forward in spite of consistent headaches and increasing drowsiness.  [...]

No, we have not stopped giving updates!  I am trying my best to get a routine down and just when I think I got one, something changes and throws everything out of whack.  Kate will have been home a month tomorrow and we have yet to have shift nursing in the home, but I think [...]
