That sucks, but why didn't they just fly her to Kenya?

Because she's an American

Are we banned from there now?

Is there any reason whatsoever for her to remain abroad instead of returning home to her family while she receives treatment?

Septicemia... I mean I never caught one but been around enough GSW's to know the sooner you can get a doctor in the mix and taking shit out and cleaning up leaks the better you are. I mean its what 15 hours flight time? Assuming it's waiting for you on the tarmac, you way past the magic hour at that point.

Yeah I think you're confused, she's obviously got at least access to emergency treatment where she is but a collection of gunshot wounds requires intensive ongoing care. There's a world of difference between wanting to return to the US for such significant care and her bleeding and completely without care waiting for a flight. If she didn't have the immediate care you're talking about she would have died of blood loss by the time the story came out, or else it wouldn't be such a catastrophic medical situation.
