Update 01/10/2025  1 October 2025

Kayla continues to fight bravely on her recovery journey. Her creatinine levels are still high (between 400–360), and doctors have confirmed there is permanent scarring on her kidneys as a result of her overdose.

Today we are being transferred from Starship Hospital in Auckland back to Tauranga Hospital, which feels like a positive step closer to home.

Although her recovery is slow, we are so grateful for every bit of progress she makes. Kayla will need ongoing monitoring of her kidney and liver function, as well as continued support for her mental health. We know this will be a long road, but we are incredibly thankful for the love, kindness, and support for her and our family at this time. 💕
