KD, a young woman of my acquaintance (who was about your daughter's age when it all started, maybe a bit younger) and her mom were on this show and brought lots and lots of attention to antiphospholipid antibody syndrome, the clotting disorder she and I share. Angie went through some terrible things and nearly died, like your daughter, before someone put it together for her. It's pretty rare and the spotlight helped awareness quite a bit. It can definitely be a scary show to watch, though!

Glad mama and baby are still doing well (and gma, of course!)
