Supporting Caitlynn

Purple and Yellow Day at Rodgers Park Baptist Church

July 21 was Purple and Yellow Day at Rodger’s Park Baptist Church in support for COTA for Caitlynn. Members of the church wore yellow or purple to show their support for Caitlynn in her fight against Autoimmune Hepatitis. Also, the church is supporting Caitlynn in our Coins for Cait (loose coins after the offering) are often collected and donated in support of COTA for Caitlynn.
Caitlynn is loved by all and loves to engage in activities such as kickball, wiffle ball, playfully harassing other youth and some adults, and virtually all water activities. She has become a light in a dark world for many to see Jesus.

Results On Her Liver Transplant Are Still Positive

July 22nd found Caitlynn at Levine Children’s Hospital for lab work at the clinic during the morning. This girl is still killing it! Labs last week were all still trending in the right direction. Overall, she was struggling a bit as they kept upping a few anti-rejection meds which are messing with her stomach.

Since 2018 every appointment, procedure, or EGT, built up to the very moment of transplant. Now that we’re on the other side. We all feel a little numb to be honest. Each day is starting to feel a little more normal. It was such a roller coaster feeling.

The love for Caitlynn and love over the past few months has been overwhelming. It’s been inspiring to say the least. We still cannot thank everyone enough.
