<div>In 2020, <strong>Caitlin experienced her first stroke - referenced as a mini-stroke - leaving her with lasting nerve damage</strong>. This was particularly challenging as there have been mounting medical bills, hospital stays, and costly infusions. In April of 2024, Caitlin had a blood clot in her eye, causing vision loss, a frightening experience that underscored the severity of her health issues. Just recently, Caitlin received genetic testing results confirming a diagnosis of DADA2, a rare genetic disorder requiring a completely new treatment plan. This means there will be a transition from Caitlin's current medications to new ones, with the risk of further blood clots during the process.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The road ahead is uncertain and filled with significant medical challenges. <strong>Caitlin needs to seek treatment from a specialized stem cell clinic that has experience with vasculitis and other autoimmune disorders</strong>.
