These past 2 weeks have been life changing and have us moving in a hundred different directions at a fast pace to try and preserve the moment.We have thrown a birthday party for Caitlyn with all her classmates, family, dear friends, and neighbors. We also had family portraits taken. We went with extended family to the botanical gardens to take some memorable pictures together.
Our family is overcome by the love and support that our family, friends, church and school St. Theresa has shown our family in our time of need for love, support and trusting in the faith of God. I can not thank everyone enough and tell you how much it means. It is truly helping us keep our faith strong and hope for a miracle high.
When we received the news of Caitlyn's cancer on May 23 we were given a 2% chance to make it through the next year. We went straight to God and asked for better chances and two days later were told of a clinical trial that could give her a 25%. Again I went to God and said this is better but I need better than that. That night I found a boy in Seattle who has the same cancer and is in the same clinical trial and his tumor has shrunk 80%. I then thanked God and said I can pray on that. Caitlyn started her treatment May 30th.
She is 5 treatments into her 6 week treatment plan and in 8 weeks she will have another MRI that will tell us if she is responding to the treatment. We ask that you pray for us at this critical time of her treatment.
