Frost transferred to rehab facility
Victim of Strip shooting continues her comeback
WASHINGTON — Strip shooting victim Tina Frost, who suffered a severe head wound, has been transferred from a Baltimore hospital to a rehabilitation center following surgeries, according to an update on a social media site.
The update was posted before the two-month anniversary of the Oct. 1 shooting.
Pam Ostiguy Clark said that as “we approach the two-month mark on the horrific event that has affected so many lives, we’d like to let you all know that Tina is again making strides on her marathon.”
Frost, 27, was one of 22,000 people attending the Route 91 Harvest festival in Las Vegas when a gunman used his 32nd-floor Mandalay Bay suite to fire into the crowd with semi-automatic rifles, killing 58 people and injuring more than 500.
Frost, a native of Crofton, Maryland, was living in California and traveled to Las Vegas to attend the country music festival.
After she was struck by gunfire, she was rushed to Sunrise Hospital and Medical Center, where she underwent a three-hour surgery. She lost her right eye to the injury.
Frost was transferred from Sunrise to Johns Hopkins Hospital on Oct. 15. Neurosurgeon Dr. Keith Blum discharged Frost from the Las Vegas hospital after she made great strides in her recovery.
She has had additional surgeries at Johns Hopkins, according to family updates. She left Johns Hopkins last Wednesday and was moved to an undisclosed rehabilitation center, according to the most recent family update.
“Tina has been meeting the team and getting underway with even more intense and focused therapies,” the update said. “To all of our family, friends, supporters and followers, thank you so much for your endless support and prayers!”
A trust set up on a Gofundme page has raised $607,000 from more than 10,180 donors to help the family with the costs of surgeries and health care.
