Update, December 18: Kat started high school this fall and is doing well.
Update: We visited Kat in the hospital yesterday and today. Her recovery is going well. She will be in the hospital a few more weeks, then will be an outpatient staying at the Ronald McDonald House another week or two, then return home to Vermont. She still has months of outpatient treatment and isolation in Vermont after she gets home. But she’s on schedule and heading in the right direction.
Update: Kat’s transplant went well and she is having a good day and playing with Legos at the hospital.
I may have to eat at McDonald’s a time or two during this weekend’s trip to Boston.

His eulogy still gets occasional traffic, which gives me a little comfort. (more…)
