WASHINGTON (WKRC) - Kelsee Lainhart has moved out of the ICU at Walter Reed and she is now on the Wounded Warrior Floor.
That's according to her mother, Stacy, who is updating people on a Caring Bridge site.
Lainhart was badly injured during the suicide attack at the airport in Kabul on Aug. 26 that also left 13 service members dead. Lainhart suffered a spinal injury, among other injuries, and it may take up to two years of rehab to get her walking again.
While encouraged about her daughter's progress, her mother says the downside is that Lainhart will no longer have the "Cadillac" of nurses and a 1:1 nurse ratio she had in the ICU.
Lainhart was able to sit upright in a chair for about four hours Monday.
She was also visited by Kyle Carpenter, the young living Medal of Honor recipient on Monday. "He is truly inspirational and exactly the type of person she needs to surround herself with."
The Southeastern Honor Guard and the Indiana Patriot Guard put American flags in the family's yard to honor Lainhart.
