Kath's recovery journey continues, as we updated you, the first attempt to place the neurostimulator was successful in managing the pain, but the infection that followed led to sepsis, and they ultimately had to remove the device requiring addition unplanned surgeries to save Kath's life. 

Kath has shared a beautiful update with me as she is about to reattempt the surgery. I have posted that in the updates below, please go and read it and come straight back here! 

Now that you have read that update, we again are turning to our village in support of the costs of her recovery. This will go towards the cost of the new surgery and the ongoing therapies she needs from our original post.
