Journal entry by Joel Mandel

Thank you. To all who have been sending prayers, thinking of Katy, calling, sending texts, and keeping Katy close to your heart, words can not adequately express our gratitude to you. 

We we are starting this Caring Bridge page as a way to share how Katy is doing.  It is a way for us to keep everybody updated as much as we can. It’s also a way to help family love and care for Katy, and focus our time and attention on her. 

On October 6th, Katy was violently attacked, stabbed multiple times. She sustained critical injuries, and miraculously survived. She is a fighter. She is a survivor. She is strong and she is getting better with every day. 

She has been in the hospital since October 6th and additional surgeries are planned. Her doctors and nurses are nothing short of amazing. 

Katy is alert, is making decisions for herself, and is getting stronger in body, mind and spirit. 

She is aware of the loving community that is by her side. She is grateful for the generosity shown to her and Lily through the Go Fund Me page, the numerous acts of kindness by friends and family from near and far, and the literal "army" of thousands pulling for her. 

Her medical condition remains serious, but progress is being made every day.  

Many have unselfishly asked, "What can I do to help?"  

1. Post a message to Katy on this site.  It gives her great strength to hear from you. 

2. If you are able, visit Katy and Lily's Go Fund Me page;

3. Bring awareness that there is ZERO TOLERANCE for domestic violence.
