Kidney Blogging, Cont'd
The LAT's Alan Zarembo tells the story of Karol Franks's determined search for a kidney donor for her daughter Jenna. (The photo shows Karol in the foreground, waiting while Jenna undergoes dialysis.) I've had some email correspondence with Karol, but I had no idea of all the ups and downs she's experienced. It's a well-written feature, worth reading in its entirety, not only for what it says about the organ crisis but also for its ultimately optimistic portrayal of what a determined mother can accomplish through the power of the Internet.
