Kristi has been a patient at the University of Hospitals in Iowa City since early summer, suffering from kidney and liver failure. She also suffers from pancreatitis. Just last week she was moved to Ravenwood Rehab and Nursing Center in Waterloo for continued care and treatment which also allows her to be closer to her friends and family. She receives dialysis five days a week.
