My name is Eileen Seward. I do respite for a 16 year old boy with Autism (Christian) and his 11 year old sister, Caitlin. These sweet kids are my heart and soul. Caitlin has an amazingly awesome and beautiful soul. She is extremely loving and spreads compassion to every living creature. She loves animals and hopes to become a Veterinarian when she grows up. She also loves to read, do art, and watch YouTube videos about animals. On Tuesday (01/25/2022), we learned that Caitlin has a rare type of bone cancer called Ewings Sarcoma. Right now, we know that it that is located in the growth plate of her right shoulder. However, it is rapidly spreading throughout her tiny body. She has a sedated biopsy scheduled for today (01/27/22) and a PET scan scheduled for Friday (01/28/22) to see the extent of the growth. The doctors will also be placing a chemotherapy port in Caitlin’s chest in the next couple of days. Although we are not sure the exact treatment plan at this time, she will have to endure many rounds of chemo in the near future.  The doctors at Cook Children’s have promised to do everything they can to assist in Caitlin’s recovery. While Caitlin does have medical insurance through her dad’s employer, the deductibles and co-pays are extremely high. Any donations collected would go to offset these medical expenses. Caitlin and Christian live with their mother, Jessica. Jessica works hard to support these precious children and the upcoming medical expenses are weighing heavily on her. Please consider donating. We also ask for prayers. Please pray for Caitlin’s recovery and that the treatments don’t take away her beautiful smile. Also, please pray for everyone that loves Caitlin. Pray that we have the strength to stand by her side and be the anchors that she needs in this scary time. Thank you.#CaitlinStrong
