Kathy’s Story

Site created on February 13, 2020

Hello family and friends.  We are using the Caring Bridge platform to keep family and friends updated in one place. We appreciate your continued prayers, love, and encouragement as Kathy heals. 


On Wednesday evening, February 12th, Kathy was ambulanced to Victoria ER with pain in her chest & abdomen. After discovering internal hemorrhaging, she was airlifted to San Antonio for emergency surgery. The 17-hour procedure included repairing severe aortic tearing (a dissection), bypassing her heart on the right side and clearing blockage in her carotid arteries. She continues to recover in the Cardiac ICU at  Main Methodist Hospital, and the next week will be critical. Please keep Kathy, her medical team, and family in your continued prayers as we help her heal.
