Latest on Jessica directly from the Mod Bee:

"Hello again.
I have spoken with Jessica's family. The good news is that she continues to recuperate and is getting medical attention. Unfortunately, it appears her injuries are more extensive than it sounded like yesterday. And I have not yet learned most of the specifics of what happened on her hike - she's been on medication and her family has only spoken with her briefly. I do hope to learn more. In the meantime, we have an early version of the story up: http://www.modbee.com/2012/10/10/2408540/yosemite-employee-recovering-from.html
I'll also be sure to pass along your best wishes when I speak with the family again.

Patty [Guerra]"

Pulling for Jessica, and thanking this reporter for her follow up, unusual for stories like this.
