Yirui leaves ICU and enters rehab today

Another exciting event this week as Yirui has left the hospital ICU and transferred to an excellent rehabilitation center. This is a critical step on her road to recovery. We are so proud of her bravery and hard work in getting better, and so grateful to the staff of the ICU who took such excellent care of her.

Just as important are the funds from generous donor and supporters who continue to send money to pay for rehabilitation. We raised enough to get her in the door. Over the next week or so, we hope to learn more about the time frame for her stay and the extent of outpatient rehab that might be necessary. This will help us adjust our fund raising goal to provide the best possible rehabilitation care for Yirui.

In the mean time, we hope all of you will come join us at Shakespeare's Pizza tomorrow night, to celebrate all the good news this week! 15% of proceeds will benefit our fund raising campaign (see earlier post for details).
