  Kathy became ill August 16 and was hospitalized for nearly 3 months, where she was in and out of ICU, literally fighting for her life! Her body was rejecting all treatments, along with blood and platelet transfusions. Kathy was diagnosed with Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) and has several rare blood disorders.
