Just Heard From Kilikini

Christy just called me. Not only does she have fribramtosis but she also
has hemochromatosis. Her body can't absorb iron. So her liver is failing.
All those years when her parents told her "eat your spinach" she ate it (and
loved it) she was essentially killing herself. Finding a diet she can eat
will be a challenge since she can't eat most meats and vegetables which
contain iron.

She wanted me to send purrs to everyone who needs them. I'm requesting
purrs for her.

Thanks for the update, Jill. I hope now that the problem has been
identified that the doctors can come up with some way to treat it ad that
the treatment will be available to her.

We will keep Christi in our thoughts and prayers.

Also keeping Kili in our thoughts and prayers. I don't know anything
about fibramtosis but I am familiar with hemochromatosis. My mother had
it. It isn't that her body cannot absorb iron; her body is absorbing
too much iron and it begins to deposit in the organs. The treatment
used to be periodical removal of blood. I do know the liver can
regenerate itself with treatment. Purrs that she has skillful doctors
and that her body responds to treatment.

Definite purrs for Kili. Man, what a hard spot to be in.

A friend of mine has had hemochromatosis for a number of years. He also has
blood removed as a treatment, on a fairly frequent basis.

OMG, I am so glad she was able to go to the clinic and find the new
problem too! I can't believe it wasn't found before now, maybe it's
something hard to diagnose?

I have high hopes that they can help her out and get everything back on
track.
