Cathy FOUND SAFE !!!
UP to DATE Information from Cathy's Family
Cathy is reunited with her son Derek, she was taken to the hospital by ambulance. Here is what we know... Apparently the car that Cathy has been driving ran out of gas in the Angeles National Forrest near to a campground (by Lake Hughes.) This morning a person searching for firewood ran into Cathy who had fallen down a few hundred feet from her car down an embankment . The person approached Cathy to aid her. After a conversation, the person asked Cathy if she had any contact numbers. Cathy remembered she had a paper in her purse with her cousin's telephone number... The cousin was contacted who relayed info to others. Derek was given the phone number of the person who stumbled upon Cathy. Derek was given a location and confirmation Cathy was OK. Obviously dehydrated, hungry and fatigued... May have twisted her ankle when falling down the embankment. Turns out Cathy could not get up and spent the last few days lying on the ground.. As a result of being in the elements , Cathy suffered extreme sunburn. Cathy (along with Derek) were taken to Henry Mayo Hospital Newhall in Santa Clarita to be checked out. Cathy has been cleared and is being transfered to the Kaiser in PanoramaCity. Cathy is in good spirits (she asked for a glaze donut and was happy when they brought her one.) Not sure how long she will be at Kaiser. Thank you everyone for your concern and support during this ordeal. Thank goodness for a POSITIVE outcome. Your thoughts and prayers where answered...
Hospital pictures of Cathy...
Picture of me with Cathy...
Cathy was in good spirits and remembered a lot of her ordeal... She was thankful to be found. She is tired, sunburned, swollen and sore (but not in any great pain.)
Cathy smiling for the camera
Cathy wants everyone to know she is ok and thanks everyone for the concern, thoughts and prayers. Cathy is smiling in this picture , but when you spend a few days in the elements with no cover, you will get a little "beat up." Considering what she just went through, she looks in not so bad shape...
