Katy

Katy is my great niece. She was born in India in September of 1984, and was adopted by my nephew Paul and his wife Dawn when she was 4 years old. This summer, she became violently ill and was subsequently diagnosed with Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome. She had been improving drastically for a while, but when taken off a very strong medication for pain, she soon started deteriorating again. A couple of days ago she returned to the hospital. She is an amazing young lady; I have never met her myself, but I feel I have come to know her through reading the blog her uncle set up to track her progress. Click on the link and meet Katy and her family!
