We seem to be a lot more busy now that school is in full swing; and I don't seem to find the time to post. Caitlyn is still doing well. I can not tell you how lucky we feel that she is doing so good.
I am sad to say that three more angels have received their wings. Hannah Deals, Trinity Bright, and Sophie Quayle. All three were also diagnosed with a DIPG tumor just like Caitlyn's. I try not to follow too many cases because they all seem to follow the same path. It hurts just as much as if it was my own when we lose another child to this. Please say a pray for these familes.
Caitlyn will have another MRI on October 15th to determine if the tumor is growing or dying, but for now she is feeling well and that makes us all very happy.
The boys are doing great and loving 2nd grade. Caitlyn is loving Kindergarten as well. Everything feels like it supposed to for now and that is something to be grateful for. We just want to thank all our family, friends, school, parish,and community for the continued support.
You all continue to show us that Caitlyn has touched your lives in some way. Our friends that helped with the fundraiser on September 23rd -- continue to receive calls from people in the community that want to contribute to the next fundraiser or who want to give a gift to Caitlyn.
This is way beyond the impact that we expected to have. I know God knew what this would do to the community. This is just another example of why we must always be listening because you never know when He will be talking to you. Please continue to pray for Caitlyn and the other children.
The Churak Family
******Thank you, Thank you, Thank you
Many thanks to St. Theresa School for the dress down day donation. The student Council designated an out of uniform day in September for Caitlyn. This made Caitlyn and her brothers feel very special. I am so proud of the STS children. They have such compassion for one another. When I come to the school to help out in the classrooms I'm always asked by the other children how she is doing. That says a lot for 7 year olds and 5 year olds.
Thank you also to St Thomas of Villanova who so generously donated proceeds from their bake sale and out of uniform to Caitlyn's medical fund. Thank you to Quest Academy who thoughtfully gave a gift basket to the family, and a gift basket to each of the kids. The kids looooved everything. We appreciate your genorosity, thoughtfulness, and kindness. It means a lot that other schools in the community care enough to think of us.
Thank you again for keeping us in your hearts.
