Katrina seeks treatment for flesh-eating parasite

The headline is accurate, remarkably. Katrina has a wound on her foot that is the result of a parasite that she picked up in the Amazon. That's the bad news. The good news is that it should heal on its own, according to the international clinic here in Hanoi.


That positive prognosis notwithstanding, CJ and Sophie have repeatedly assured Katrina that she would "kill it" at the Paralympics, should she have to have the foot amputated. We appreciate their support. The international clinic was in a lovely French part of Hanoi, so Katrina and I made the best of our hospital visit at a charming cafe.



Katrina feels this experience will be great for ice-breaker exercises during orientation at Williams. "Hi. My name is Katrina. I'm from New Hampshire, and I'm recovering from a flesh-eating parasite."
