Well, here is the March video installment chronicling the struggle of Kristy Dusseau back toward health and normality from a two-year encounter with a rare, virulent form of leukemia -- and the aftereffects of her life-saving treatment.
What Kristy has been through, you wouldn't wish on your worst enemy. You wouldn't.
And while racking up $5 million-plus in medical bills, Kristy also has lost her home, car, job, etcetera, etcetera.
So, in this Lenten season of alms and penance, go to www.kristyrecovers.com and give what you can, eh?
BY THE WAY, here are the two latest updates from Kristy's brother Rob, posted after he uploaded this month's video.

Well, ironically, as I post this, Kristy is getting readmitted to hospital again. This morning she was overwhelmed with uncontrollable vomiting (like the times before), and they want to keep her for a least a few days to make sure nothing is wrong. The video shows how much better she has been doing, but this is the way it's been for the past three years now. It swings back and forth like an old clock.
Sigh. Every time this happens it breaks my heart a little. I really thought she was out for good this time.
I'll let you know more when I do. Thanks everyone for your thoughts and prayers.Sunday, March 18
My brother and I drove out to spend the day with her this afternoon and she didn't appear to be doing too bad. She has some sort of virus. The doctors don't know which kind, but they do seem very confident that after a few days of antibiotics they will have home again. My brother and I joked around with her for a bit and then just watched her sleep.
Her mood was little low, but not too bad. Dr. Yanik (another favorite) was there with her. He told the three of us that Kristy was the healthiest person on that floor, and that she could expect to be back home in just a few days.
Not too bad.
Thanks everyone for your concern.
