Congrats to them.
Oh, good for them! Feel sorry for Kate, having to deal with the HG again, though. Even with all the best medical care, it must be pretty crappy to deal with.
Yeah, her case sounds pretty severe. I'm honestly surprised she went back for a third time given that condition. Poor thing.
