    PRAYING FOR REMISSION: On August 10, Kris said she was “on the path to remission.” “Praying more that in 18 to 20 months I’ll reach remission and after 6 months I’ll have my doctors’ clearances and we can go home. I miss my sisters, my cousins, my PH doctors, my close friends, and of course all of you… It’s already been 16 months. We’re already settled in our rental home — location-wise, this is my long wished for vibe — we have a pool in the back with an unobstructed view of the blue sea and with this super fresh, cool sea breeze… plus we’re only 10 minutes away from 1 of my doctors," she added.
