Airlift Patient

A short update: I picked up my friend from Natividad on Tuesday evening and he is staying with me for a while. He is weak, but his memory is coming back and his confusion is almost gone. He is progressing greatly, being home, back on the South Coast of Big Sur.

Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers. We dodged this one!

  • Hello Kate: I've been following your blog for at least two years but never left a message. I wanted to tell you how much I appreciate that you have taken care of an injured person and helped to restore their life. Everyone deserves that and I thank you for helping to make that possible. Thank you also for maintaining a connection with like-minded people who love Big Sur and want to keep it forever as the glorious place that it is. Sincerely
    Hilda Leefeldt

  • This is great news. I have been thinking about this everyday. Don't always get to hear the outcome, but its always relieving when I do and its good news. Also hoping for a full recovery. Thanks for the update Kate.

    • Yes, I thought you would like to know. You were so much help, thank you. He doesn't remember any of it, but that is not surprising. Best to you and Naia.
