STILL IN RECOVERY FROM WOUNDS, SHE WANTS TO RETURN TO WORK

playoff game in May, during a trip to Las Vegas to visit the hospital workers who helped save Lori’s life.

“The crowd there was hard to be around,” Lori Kammer said.

They also stopped at the Las Vegas Village festival grounds, the site of the shooting, bringing back a flood of memories. “It was very, very emotional,” Lori Kammer said.

Still undergoing physical rehabilita­tion, she has yet to return to work.

Her husband, after initially taking time off to care for her, has returned to duty. But he is still there whenever his wife needs him, just as he was there to lead her to safety during the shooting and at her bedside in the hospital.

“Her husband was by her side the whole time,” said Mary Toftey, a nurse at Sunrise. “He was great to all of us.”

Todd Kammer had high praise for Toftey and the Sunrise team, who tended to his wife’s medical and emotional needs.

“Mary was a second shoulder to lean on,” he said. “The nursing staff and doctors here were second to none. That’s why we came back in May, to show them how much we appreciate them, for not only us, but all the survivors that were here.”

All the work Lori Kammer doing to regain her full physical abilities is focused on getting back to the career she loves.

“I want to return to work,” she said. “That’s the ultimate goal — being back to work, full duty.”
