I want you to know that I still pray for your family. Say "Hi" to my niece Samantha Crowell and to my dad when you see him. They've just recently arrived as well. I warn you though, my dad may want to chat your ear off, he's a big story teller, but since you haven't heard any of them a hundred times like we have I'm sure you'll really enjoy them. We're all still missing you here.

Everyone in DYNA is thinking of you, and we all send our love and good thoughts. I cannot tell you guys how much of an effect Caitlin had on me, or how she changed my life just by living hers. She taught me bravery, strength, true kindness and compassion and I will keep these things with me forever. I will never forget her. Love Sophie, Xoxoxoxo. Sophie North Shore, - New Zealand - Friday, November 21, 2008 1:45 PM CST Hi Caitlin's family, I wanted to be sure to let you know that Caitlin's memory is not forgotten, even for those of us who never had the priviledge to meet her in person, just through her postings. My father passed away a few weeks ago on October 29th and I know that following Caitlin's story changed me in a way that helped to give me the courage, strength and peace that I needed to get through both of my parents' prolonged illnesses. I continue to thank God for her and are sending prayers for your family on this anniversary. God bless Maureen Dunn - Thursday, November 20, 2008 2:24 PM CST I am so sorry. Your daughter was so beautiful, and so special. Cheryl and Angel Haley <tnvincentcrew@aol.com> - Wednesday, January 16, 2008 6:06 PM CST Love ya Caity!

Caitlin touched my life so much through DYNA and I know she touched many other people and changed many lives. Love, Annie <penguini1982@yahoo.com> Rochester, MA - Thursday, November 22, 2007 7:53 AM CST Was thinking about you all day today -- missing you so much! Happy Thanksgiving, Caity. KC - Thursday, November 22, 2007 3:36 AM CST You know, I have been to this website, but it has been almost two years. I just happened to go to www.sharethelove.com tonight, and for whatever reason, I clicked on this one. I honestly had no idea, until I scrolled down to your journal entry. Now I know it was because God wanted me to pray for you - so I did, and will continue to do so. I know I am "just an internet stranger" but if you can find even a shred of comfort knowing that there are hundreds of "internet strangers" out there just like me, who are praying for peace and comfort for your family...then I certainly don't mind signing this Guestbook as "Just a Stranger" Psalm 34:18 The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit Katherine <katbird76@gmail.com> Sharpsburg, Ga USA - Wednesday, November 21, 2007 10:38 PM CST Can't help but think of you today. You have been on my mind a lot lately as I have been struggling with uncontrollable mast cell symptoms and now hospitalized because this horrible disease is now causing me to react to my mast cell meds. I think of you going through this situation last year, and being faced with it, and knowing how horrible it is myself now, I have found myself stopping and saying to myself, "I'm sooo sorry Caity"...sorry that you had to feel this way and go through this too. You are just on my mind, and very much missed. Ashley <ayoung00@hotmail.com> Boston, MA - Wednesday, November 21, 2007 7:09 PM CST Dear Caitlin, On this anniversary of your death, I just wanted you to know that I still think about you. You continue to be a source of strength to me in the faith and courage you shared. I will light a candle in your honor and think of you especially at 9:30. Your family will continue to be in my prayers. I miss you! Jennifer <jdempsey82@yahoo.com> Kansas City, MO - Wednesday, November 21, 2007 4:56 PM CST To Caitlin's family, I can't believe it's been a year already. I can only guess that for you the time has passed in the most surreal way - each day seeming to drag - but then the anniversary coming so quickly. Caitlin's bravery, determination, compassion, sense of humor and her amazing faith shine so bright even still, I feel so fortunate to have known her, even though it was just through postings on a webpage, an act that seems so small, but her life echos around the world. I continue to keep you all in my prayers and I will be out at 9:30 watching the sky - praying that the clouds will part and the stars will shine and I will think of Caitlin and praise God for sharing her with us and for a life so well lived. Thank you again and may God grant you His peace. Maureen Dunn WA - Wednesday, November 21, 2007 11:40 AM CST With our our love to our Angel in Heaven. Your Friends at DYNAkids <info@dynakids.org> Waldorf, MD - Wednesday, November 21, 2007 10:35 AM CST I knew this day was comming up, but it is hard to believe it has been a year. The loss of Caitlin still feels so raw. Caitlin was the most beautiful person and because of her I truely believe I am a better person. She taught me strength, bravery, true kindness and compassion. Her unwavering faith made me look hard at the lack of my own. I am honoured and blessed to have known her!! Her memory will be with me forever. To her family, thank you for letting me know her!! I think of you every day and I pray that you have comfort in how much strength she has given me and all of her friends in DYNA. I will light a candle tommorow night (it is the 21st tonight, but I want it to do it on the US day). I'm going to get my boyfriend to take me down to the beach as Caitlin and I often talked about beaches, and she always told me how lucky I was to be so close to them!! I will light a candle and think of her. I will also do this with my parents as they felt close to her and her family through me. With Love and Blessings, Love Sophie Hicks and Family. Xoxoxoxo. Sophie North Shore, New Zealand - Wednesday, November 21, 2007 3:21 AM CST Caity - I can't believe it's been a whole year already since you earned your angel wings!

Caitlin has and will always touch my life daily. She makes me work harder, feel stronger, be more compassionate and smile more. My dysautonomia always gets worse in the winter months (it's Autumn now in NZ) so I am feeling it more and more again. Caity showed me how to face dysautonomia head on and to never give in-to keep on keeping on. I always will. Thank you for posting her memorial service bulletin and your message-I appreciate it so much. The bulletin was just beautiful. I think of you all every day. Love always, Sophie. www.caringbridge.org/visit/sophiehicks Sophie North Shore, - New Zealand - Monday, April 16, 2007 6:49 AM CDT missing you caity. the kitties love to cuddle and watch your slide show. felt you in my club med room a week or so ago.

I can only hope and pray that we can follow in such a beautiful example of what it is like to have the courage and faith in doing what God wants of us !!! Love, Mary and the girls www.caringbridge.org/fl/caitlin Mary Templeton <mary.templeton@gmail.com> Citrus Springs, FL - Tuesday, March 27, 2007 9:02 AM CDT To Dear Caitlin’s Family, We think of you both at some time each day and have wanted to express our condolences to you with the loss of your beautiful daughter Caitlin. We know the feeling of helplessness and hopelessness in an illness like this impacts on every family and then to lose her is just not fair. We have wanted to tell you all what an inspiration she was to our Sophie who also suffers from dysautonomia. Sophie held Caitlin in such high regard and considered her to be one of her most special friends. Caitlin took such time in supporting Sophie and you can only be so proud of your wonderful, kind and caring daughter. We know Sophie misses her terribly and cannot imagine what it must be like for you. Our love and thoughts are with you always and we pray that you have loving support to help you through.

Merry Christmas!! I hope this Christmas isn't too hard for you. I will be thinking of you all and sending you lots of good thoughts. Sorry I haven't written again, it's been hard. I miss Caitlin so much, she is in my thoughts every day. She gave me so much hope, faith, and strength and I will always carry that with me. I have been meaning to tell you-the other day I walked into a mall to pick up some sushi for dinner, I was going straight in and straight out. As I walked I saw this jewellery shop and although I was running late and didn't really feel like shopping I felt drawn in there. I walked right in and felt my self turn left and walk straight forward. I stopped and then I looked down. Right in front of me there were two silver bracelets, one saying "hope" and one saying "faith." These were two words Caitlin always mentioned to me. I was amazed. I brought the two bracelets and wear them now. They bring me great comfort. Much love to you all, Love Sophie. Xoxoxoxo. http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/sophiehicks Sophie North Shore, - New Zealand - Saturday, December 23, 2006 4:10 PM CST i^ Christmas in Heaven ^i^ You'll be sharing your hearts, full of Holiday Cheer and shopping for presents for loved ones this year, The house is dressed up with garland and lights, and oh how they sparkle and shine through the night But even with all the Holiday bliss, There's someone you lost that was oh so dear, and as this Christmas Day draws near, Your only wish is that she was here ^i^Caity's^i^ living way up past the stars, Somewhere past Jupiter, Saturn and Mars, She's spending her Christmas in Heaven above and she's sending a message to the ones she loves, She says Heaven is more beautiful then you could ever believe and it's the greatest of gifts that I could ever receive, and I'm soaring through "Heaven" happy and free I'd like you to be happy and remember the good, You know I'd be there if only I could, I don't want you to feel bad that I'm not there, But just share my memories with all that's there As all the family is together, I know you'll find, All the gifts within your Hearts that I left behind, Each one is unique and wrapped up with love, And they'll shine from your Hearts as I'll shine from above. Merry Christmas to my Family that I love so much, and remember I'm with you right there in your Hearts..... Hello Caity's Family, Wrote alittle poem for you and some others and hope that you like it. Wishing all a lovely day and I'm thinking of all and keeping you in my prayers. I do hope you can have alittle joy in your lives for Christmas, but know it will be difficult.

U.S. - Friday, December 22, 2006 9:20 AM CST Dear Mr. Hallmark, I am writing to you from heaven, and though it must appear, A rather strange idea, I see everything from here, I just popped in to visit, your stores to find a card, A card of love for my parents, as this day for them is hard, There must be some mistake I thought, every card you can imagine, except I could not find a card, from a child that lives in heaven, they are still a parent too, no matter where I reside, I had to leave, they understand, but oh the tears they cried, I thought that if I wrote to you, that you would come to know, that though I live in heaven now, I still love my parents so, they talk with me, and dreams with me, we still share laughter too, memories are our way of speaking now, would you see what you can do? my parents carry me in their heart, their tears they hide from sight, they plants flowers in my garden, there my living memory dwells, they writes to other grieving parents, trying to ease there pain as well, so you see Mr. Hallmark, though I no longer live on earth, I must find a way, to remind her of her wondrous worth, they need to be honored, and be remembered too, just as the children of the earth will do, thank you Mr. Hallmark, I know you will do your best, find a way to tell them, how much they mean to me, until I can do it for myself, when she joins me in eternity. I know Christmas must be so hard for you although I can't comprehend how difficult it must be. All my love, Viks viks <viks@postpals.co.uk> - Friday, December 22, 2006 8:34 AM CST Wishing you a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year ^Caity^ & Family!

Maureen Dunn - Tuesday, December 12, 2006 10:47 AM CST Dear Logan Family, I am so sorry to hear of Caitlin’s passing. I am a member of DYNA. Unfortunately, I never had the privilege of meeting Caitlin. I wanted to wish you a Blessed Holiday. I hope you find comfort in reading this poem. Praying for you, Kasey Romito My First Christmas In Heaven I see the countless Christmas trees around the world below, with tiny lights like heavens stars reflecting on the snow. The sight is so spectacular, please wipe away the tear For I am spending Christmas with Jesus this year. I hear the many Christmas songs that people hold so dear But the sounds of music can't compare with the Christmas choir up here I have no words to tell you, the joy their voices bring, For it is beyond description, to hear the angels sing I know how much you miss me I see the pain inside your heart but I am not so far away We really aren't apart. So be happy for me dear ones, You know I hold you dear, and be glad I'm spending Christmas with Jesus this year. I sent you a special gift, from my heavenly home above I sent you each a memory of my undying love After all love is a gift more precious than pure gold It was always most important in the stories Jesus told. Please love and keep each other, as my father said to do For I can't count the blessings or love he has for each of you. So have a Merry Christmas and wipe away that tear Remember I'm spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year. This poem was written by a 13 year old boy who died of a brain tumor, that he fought for four years. He died Dec. 14, 1997. He gave this to his mom before he died. His name was Ben. May you all have a blessed Christmas and for those of us who have lost loved ones know that they too, are spending Christmas with Jesus this year. Kasey Romito Southgate, KY USA - Tuesday, December 12, 2006 0:51 AM CST I am so sorry, I feel terrible as I just found out about Caitlin's passing. Caitlin was such a beautiful girl who taught me a lot about the power of faith and prayer and I will never forget her. My daughter also named Caitlin Rose has a caringbridge website and your beautiful Caity used to visit, and I always got a kick at how beautiful the two Caity Rose's were inside out!!! Although the tears are burning in my eyes I know that she is where she is meant to be now, because she was always God's perfect Angel. I have never met anyone so sweet before, I cannot even fathom just how much you will miss your sweet girl!!! There are really no words that can express how sorry I am, but to let you know that I will keep your entire family in my prayers. Caity and I will miss her too! May God Bless all of you and keep you close in his comforting embrace!

Lauren(Mastocytosis since 1994) Lauren Drong <Laurenleigh4@yahoo.com> Palos Hills, IL US - Tuesday, December 5, 2006 10:43 PM CST It is with incredible sadness that I learned of Caitlin's passing. Like so many others, she truly had become a hero to me. She had posted on my niece Samantha Crowell's caringbridge site early last spring and I was intrigued by her story, her fighting spirit, her amazing faith, her delightful humor and her Alice in Wonderland quotation. As one who struggles with chronic illness I can state that it can become so difficult not to succumb to despair, but just reading Caitlin's journal regularly was an incredible inspiration and encouragement to me. It has made me braver in the face of my own struggles, and I will carry what I have learned with me into my own battles. How short are our days here on earth. An odd moment happened to me shortly after learning of Caitlin's death. I was watching The Fellowship of the Ring (I'm kind of a nerd) and a scene came on where Frodo laments to Gandalf "I wish the Ring had never come to me." and Gandalf replies "So do all who live to see such times, but that is not for them to decide. What is up to them is what to do with the time they are given." And I thought of Caitlin and her diseases, and how she chose to live so courageously and faithfully as she faced everything with such grace and humor. She was an amazing example to all who knew her or who were touched by her life. Her legacy has been passed on and it will continue. Her life was too short, but it was indeed a life well lived, she chose well what to do with the time she was given. We will be seeing her again soon. Thank you for sharing her with us. May God send you comfort and peace as you mourn the loss of your extraordinary daughter, sister and friend. With deep sadness, Maureen Dunn - Tuesday, December 5, 2006 12:35 AM CST This is my first time signing Caitlin's GB, i was sent here by Alexa Simmons. I am so sorry for your loss.

I know that you do not know me, however I did not know you until a few minutes ago. My heart is broken that I have only found out about Caity before I could get some words of hope, encouragement, bravery, and stuff like that to her-however she just might be watching me-in Heaven-typing this. I sure hope so, because I hope she will get just the finest roses in Heaven picked from me sent to her! She was so brave! I read one of the entries SHE typed, and I must say- I was impressed! I will continue to show my support, and visit often.

Hugs and oodles of prayers! Love Mike and Mary Slade and children <mar-e@rogers.com> Guelph, Ontario, Canada - Wednesday, November 29, 2006 6:30 AM CST HE ONLY TAKES THE BEST God saw she was getting tired and a cure was not to be. So He put His arms around her and whispered, "Come with Me." With tear-filled eyes we watched her suffer and fade away. Although we loved her deeply, we could not make her stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hard-working hands put to rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us He only takes The Best.

Caitlyn's story has touched my life. Love, Alli www.caringbridge.org/visit/allisoncarone Alli Herndon, VA United States - Monday, November 27, 2006 5:13 PM CST Hi Logan Family, I just thought i'd drop by and leave a message to let you know how Caitlin's spirit continues to live on. I totally am feeling her presence, and last night as i said my extra-long prayer for her and you, i could see her smiling and dancing around in Heaven and she gave me such peace - my tears turned into a huge smile. Whenever i am having a hard time, i still turn to Caitlin, and she continues to strengthen my faith in God and life. I love you all so much and am praying so hard for you! My family and I are always thinking of you and here for you, whatever we can do to help, we're always-on-call! Endless love, Tara and Family http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/tarabara Tara Jones Kensington, CA United States - Monday, November 27, 2006 4:05 PM CST I am so sorry for your loss. Caitlin had a vibrant personality and her vivacity will always be remembered. I am glad that her pain has ended, but I am sad that she had to experience it in the first place. As a DYNA member, dysautonomia sufferer and a chronically ill 25 year-old Lupus patient, I know what it is like to be ill for what are supposed to be the easy, fun years. I know that Caitlin made the best of her life and tried to enjoy every moment of wellness. She also gave so many hope. I only knew her through a few conversations online, but i can see that so many people were touched by her. I am sure that everyone in her family (friends included) is proud of her. Leah (Kitty) Brooklyn, NY USA - Monday, November 27, 2006 3:51 PM CST I am a friend of Ashley's from Camp Sunshine, and I read every one of her posts about her life and her life with mastocytosis. I was so saddened to read that her friend Caity, who had the same disease, had passed away. I am a child life specialist, and although I interact with patients and families on a daily basis, it never gets easier to know or hear of someone who has lost their battle (and it shouldn't). I'm sure Caity would want you all to do your best to continue living your lives to the fullest. I am so sorry for your loss, and I wish you the best in the days, months, and years to come. Robyn Snyder <robynsnyder@cinci.rr.com> Cincinnati, OH USA - Monday, November 27, 2006 2:44 PM CST Heaven has gained another very special ^i^Angel^i^ and I know Caity is so very strong now and has no more sickness are pain. Soar high Sweet Caity. Our hearts goes out to your family and May God wrap his loving arms around them all and see them through these most difficult days ahead and bring them comfort in knowing you are in a place of peace with lots of love. www.caringbridge.org/visit/lenziebutland Love, Lenzie's Nana Sue, Lenzie's Mom Kelly, Tori, Bryson, Ronny, & Little Miss Lenzie Sue Jeffries <sjeffries25@cox.net> FL. & AL., U.S. - Monday, November 27, 2006 2:41 PM CST i'm very sorry to hear about caitlin's passing. i loved to talk to her online and i will always cherrish the day when i was able to meet her at heather's house. no one loved life more than caitlin. she is with god now and safe. love, lauren lauren <abbarabbit@yahoo.com> CT - Monday, November 27, 2006 1:15 PM CST I am so sorry to hear of Caity's passing. I knew Caity through DYNA and followed her CB page. She has been such an inspiration to me. She always trusted in the Lord, and was truly one of the most faithful people I have ever known. I always found such joy in reading her updates and hearing her faith in Christ. My thoughts and prayers are with her family. Caitlin is truly an angel now and is walking with the Lord. There is no place like HOME! www3.caringbridge.org/pa/heatherb Heather Yeager <hyeager62@yahoo.com> Hanover, PA - Monday, November 27, 2006 11:32 AM CST I'm overshadowed by sadness and send my best wishes to the family.

We all know that Caitlin's in a better place and is much happier and healthier. You are all in my paryers. With love, Katie Bellman Katie Bellman <katiebellman@yahoo.com> Ottawa, OH USA - Monday, November 27, 2006 6:27 AM CST I wanted your family to know that Caitlin was mentioned during our time of joys and sorrows at our church in Middleboro, MA today. A member of our church also struggles with complex health issues and knew of Caitlin through her Caringbridge site which I just visited for the first time today. Words cannot express how sorry I am that Caitlin has had to struggle for these years with being sick and although I know she is in a place of pure hope and pure love, it doesn't diminish how unfair it seems for her to have carried this burden. Apparently, she did it with grace, and love, and hope - an amazing example to us all. Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with her family and friends as they struggle over what must be a painful and acute loss. We send our energy, prayers, and hope your way. Sincerely, Elizabeth Gish, intern minister First Unitarian Universalist Society of Middleboro Elizabeth Gish Middleboro, MA - Monday, November 27, 2006 0:48 AM CST I just heard about Caity and am crushed. I havent been able to check ites and email much as I have been sick so I am a few days behind. Oh Caity I know you are a beautiful angel and know my kitty is in good hands up there. I will miss our almost daily chats and picture exchanges. You were a true friend no matter what and I love you. I will keep your family in my prayers. Love ya forever. pam(www.pamsstory.org) <sylteach@aol.com> - Monday, November 27, 2006 0:09 AM CST I'm sorry to hear of this great loss to our DYNA family.

Many blessings, A Masto Mate, Elisha Giesey <egiesey@carolina.rr.com> Kings Mountain, NC USA - Sunday, November 26, 2006 8:59 PM CST When Tara let me know that Caity received her most deserved angel wings I first was filled with sadness but just moments later was filled with a peace that I can't explain. Caity has the strongest faith of anyone I've ever met and I will forever hold her in my heart... and on my head with my "Hope." hat she so graciously gave me, because it not only reminds me of her and her generaous spirit but because Caity examplified every aspect of the word Hope. She never gave up and her positive attitude beamed everywhere around her, especially across the country and world through DYNA. I love you Caity and will keep your beautiful family in my thoughts! And now you can dance like you've never danced before, and give a whole new meaning to “Dance like nobody's watching!" Diana <Diana893@gmail.com> Dallas, TX - Sunday, November 26, 2006 8:38 PM CST I am so very sorry for your loss.

Lisa New York, NY - Sunday, November 26, 2006 7:42 PM CST Dear Caitlin's Family, My deepest sympathies to you and your loved ones during this difficult time. While I did not have the honor of knowing Caitlin, knowing what a deep effect she had on a close friend of mine (Ashley) is certainly a testament to Caitlin's spirit and beauty. My thoughts and prayers are with you. BillieSue Sawyer <bssawyer@comcast.net> Somerville, MA - Sunday, November 26, 2006 7:16 PM CST I am so sorry to hear of your loss, via my good friend Ashley. My thoughts are with your family during this difficult time. Norah (a friend of Ashley's) - Sunday, November 26, 2006 7:03 PM CST My name is Sarah. I knew Caity through DYNA. I am so sad to hear of Caity's passing. I only talked with her a few times on AIM. She was such an inspiration in the way that she dealt with her illness. As sad as it is to hear that her journey in life has ended, it is comforting to know that Caity is no longer in pain and her health has been restored. To the Logan family, you are in my thoughts and prayers in this most difficult time. www.caringbridge.org/visit/sarahthomas Sarah Thomas <dv8806@aol.com> Joliet, IL USA - Sunday, November 26, 2006 6:54 PM CST Dear family and friends of Caitlin, My sincerest condolences for your loss.

She was very welcoming to me and I've continued to follow her site since then. Caitlin, you were so faith-filled and inspiring to me and I hope your family realizes how much of an impact you had on some many lives (including my own). Thanks for sharing your story and I'm glad you are now pain-free and healthy in heaven. I'll miss you!

I am a very close friend of Caity's friend Ashley, and so I had heard how wonderful and caring and strong Caity was. My prayers are with you. Rose <Rosemaryscozzafava@yahoo.com> - Sunday, November 26, 2006 5:37 PM CST I just learned of Caitlin's passing and it's difficult to find the words to say. She was an amazing, fantastic, courageous young woman and she was a real inspiration to me. Her positivity all through her illness was truly remarkable and an example to all DYNA members. I followed her CaringBridge page right up until the end. I prayed for her miracle, and I'm glad, through my tears, that she is healed at last and has gone to be with God. Fly free, Caity!

Amen Jordan Gonzales Jordan Gonzales <jeffjor24@comcast.net> Sacramento, CA United Sates - Sunday, November 26, 2006 4:59 PM CST When my Granpa died what kept me strong was a song titled "If You Could See Me Now" and I want to share that with you. I didn't know Caitlin very well but I remember, just seeing that she was online (I am from DYNA) would make me smile because of how cute and ingenious her username was, centralperky, it's making me smile now. I am so sorry for your loss, but as has already been expressed, she is in a better place and is always with those she loved and who loved her. If You Could See Me Now Our prayers have all been answered, I finally arrived; The healing that had been delayed Has now been realized. No one’s in a hurry, There’s no schedule to keep; We’re all enjoying Jesus, Just sitting at His feet. CHORUS: If you could see me now, I’m walking streets of gold. If you could see me now, I’m standing tall and whole. If you could see me now, You’d know I’ve seen His face. If you could see me now, You’d know the pain’s erased. You wouldn’t want me to ever leave this place If you could only see me now. My light and temporary trials Have worked out for my good, To know it brought Him glory When I misunderstood. Though we’ve had our sorrows, They can never compare. What Jesus has in store for us, No language can share. Repeat Chorus Kate <Star382000@aol.com> Arlington Heights, IL USA - Sunday, November 26, 2006 3:45 PM CST I met Caitlin through DYNA and she was (and still is) such a positive influence in my life. Even though she was suffering so much she always had a kind word to say. Ibelieve that we can all take comfort in the fact that she is no longer in pain. She touched every life she entered in such a positive manner and she will live on forever in our hearts. love Alexa from DYNA <alexasimmons@wispertel.net> - Sunday, November 26, 2006 3:38 PM CST Dearest Caitlin Family As you mourn the loss of your precious daughter. I know she is dancing in the heavens above. I know she is resting in the comforts of Gods arms. I will never forget all the love and support she offered us and my daughter. I will never forget the day my daughter put the raining "huggers" on this web page. Caitlin has touched so many young and old. She will be greatly miss and will never be forgotten. My prayers are with you during this time. And the many months and years ahead. My own tears are falling. Laura - Jaye Bears Proud Mom - Sunday, November 26, 2006 1:45 PM CST I'm so sorry for your loss... I too suffer from Mastocytosis, but have only had to deal with it in my middle aged life...

I have mastocytosis also, as does my 21 year old daughter. I was encouraged to hear of her faith, because we know that she is in heaven and there is no better place to be. My prayers are with your family Patty Smith <smithpa@realtracs.com> Nashville, TN USA - Sunday, November 26, 2006 0:35 AM CST I was devastated to learn of your loss. I believe Caity touched the lives of anyone she ever met or spoke to. I will miss her forever, and I will never stop sending love and hugs your way. I also second everything Sophie said. Peace and love always, Megan from DYNA Megan McLarin <Lukychrm42@hotmail.com> Boulder, CO USA - Saturday, November 25, 2006 10:55 PM CST In response to Sophie, or anyone else interested: Donations to fund research in mastocytosis can be sent to THE MASTOCYTOSIS SOCIETY. Website is: www.tmsforacure.org, then click on "donations". This is a wonderful organization that advocates for both patients and research. The few main masto doctors that exist are part of this society and have formed the mastocytosis research advisory board. Money from this society has helped to fund some of the mast cell research of these doctors. Ashley <ayoung00@hotmail.com> Boston , MA - Saturday, November 25, 2006 10:33 PM CST To Caity's Most Beautiful Family, I have just heard the news of Caity's passing and am just so shocked. I feel like my heart is breaking and tears are just streaming down my face so fast. At the same time I am happy and at peace to know that she is in no more pain. I've been trying to find the words to describe what Caitlin means to me, but am struggling in my grief so I hope this makes sense. I met Caitlin through DYNA and even though she was on the other side of the world to me, it always felt like she was right next door. Her posts on the DYNA forum, emails, messages in my guestbook and posts right here on her CB page were such an inspiration to me. They lifted me up and gave me so much hope. From Caitlin I learnt to be more positive and to always have hope and faith. I learnt many, many lessons from her-from acceptance to perseverance to strength. She demonstrated so many qualities to me that I wished I had myself, and today I know that I am a better person for having her in my life. I was so lucky and blessed to have her as a friend. She was a huge inspiration to me-the way she carried on LIVING even in the darkest times is something I will never forget. She was the most beautiful, witty, sweet and compassionate person. You were truly blessed to have her in your lives, and I know she too was truly blessed to have you in hers. I know Caity liked this song, so I thought I'd share part of it with you all: I will soar on the wings of eagles I will learn to fly high above this world And I will soar on the wings of eagles I will learn to fly I will learn to fly high above this world My family will donate to DYNA in honour and memory of Caitlin, and I plan to make a donation to fund mastocytosis research soon as well-if anyone has any suggestions for a charity/fund that does this please let me know. (Email me or post on my CB guestbook here with any suggestions: http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/sophiehicks) She will always live on in our hearts and minds. Fly high Caitlin, we love you very much!! Lots of Love, Sophie Hicks and the Hicks Family. Xoxoxoxo. We wait with hope And we ache with hope We hold on with hope We let go with hope Sophie Hicks <J_A_F_A@hotmail.com> North Shore, - New Zealand - Saturday, November 25, 2006 9:18 PM CST I am so heartbroken to hear that Caitlin passed away. She was an amazing person and I wish I had gotten to know her better, but her strong spirit and faith touched me. I am keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers. Peace and healing, Annie <penguini1982@yahoo.com> Rochester, MA - Saturday, November 25, 2006 10:43 AM CST Dear Angel Caity and Family, So sorry to hear the Amazing Caity passed away on Tuesday, we were all hoping for earthly healing and that she could get stronger and get back to her "normal" life.

Jackie Gallop <dunesummer@aol.com> Cedar Park, TX - Saturday, November 25, 2006 0:15 AM CST Logan Family, I'm so sorry to hear about Caity's passing, nothing I say will bring her back to you. I hope you know I loved talking to her and she was such an inspiration to me. I will now watch Gilmore Girls knowing that was one of her favorite shows and mine. Whenever we talked she always loved hearing about the goats and how they were doing. Susie- a friend and a "sister" www.caringbridge.org/visit/goatfarmgirl Susie aka goat-girl <luckygoat@gmail.com> OH - Friday, November 24, 2006 10:40 PM CST With tears rolling down my cheeks, I write to send my love to Caitlin and her whole family. I will continue to fight against this evil disease with everything I have, every day of my life, with Caitlin's strength in my mind to carry me through. I will think of her when I need the strength to just make it through one more day. I will also continue to advocate for more research funds for masto, and will always do so in memory of Caitlin. I am fighting back against this disease with all I can, because of Caity. My love to all of you.

Tons of love, Megan Megan McLarin <Lukychrm42@hotmail.com> Boulder, CO USA - Wednesday, November 15, 2006 11:33 PM CST Psalm 40 I waited patiently for the LORD; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry. He brought me up also out of a horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings. And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the LORD. Blessed is that man that maketh the LORD his trust, and respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies. Many, O LORD my God, are thy wonderful works which thou hast done, and thy thoughts which are to us-ward: they cannot be reckoned up in order unto thee: if I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered. Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire; mine ears hast thou opened: burnt offering and sin offering hast thou not required. Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book it is written of me, I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart. I have preached righteousness in the great congregation: lo, I have not refrained my lips, O LORD, thou knowest. I have not hid thy righteousness within my heart; I have declared thy faithfulness and thy salvation: I have not concealed thy loving-kindness and thy truth from the great congregation. Withhold not thou thy tender mercies from me, O LORD: let thy loving-kindness and thy truth continually preserve me. nikki <pookielocks@yahoo.com> columbus, oh usa - Wednesday, November 15, 2006 8:33 PM CST Jesus is carrying you right now, Caity!! Much love to you!!! Nikki <pookielocks@yahoo.com> columbus, oh usa - Wednesday, November 15, 2006 8:28 PM CST Thoughts to Ponder: Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes. If at first you don't succeed, skydiving is not for you. God's blessings on you! Maureen Dunn - Wednesday, November 15, 2006 4:00 PM CST Hey you beautiful girl!! Just stopping by with some more jokes for you-I hope you find these ones funny!! No Ear Interviewer Three guys go to a job interview. The interviewer doesn't have any ears. The first guy goes into the office for his interview. The man says to him, "The job that you're applying for requires powers of observation. Make one observation about me." So the guy says, "You ain't got no ears!" -- "Get out!!" screams the interviewer. So, the next guy gets up and goes in. The interviewer says to the guy, "The job that you're applying for requires powers of observation. Make one observation about me." The guy says "You got no ears." -- "Get out!!!" screams the interviewer again. Then the third guy gets up to go in for his interview. The first 2 guys are out there and they tell him, "the guy that's giving the interview doesn't have any ears and he's kind of touchy about it". "Thanks for the tip" says the third guy. So he goes in for the interview and again the man says, "The job that you're applying for requires powers of observation. Make one observation about me." So the guy stares at him for a while and finally he says "You wear contact lenses." The interviewer is impressed and says, "Excellent observation. Tell me, how could you tell?" So the guy gets up and says, "Well, you couldn't wear glasses....you've got no ears!" and walks out. A Young Businessman A young businessman had just started his own firm. He'd rented beautiful office and had it furnished with antiques. Sitting there, he saw a man come into the outer office. Wishing to appear the hot shot, the businessman picked up the phone and started to pretend he had big deal working. He threw huge figures around and made giant commitments. Finally he hung up and asked the visitor, "Can I help you?" The man said, "Yeah, I've come to activate your phone lines." Blonde Jokes-Are You Sure? A blind guy on a bar stool shouts to the bartender, "Wanna hear a blonde joke?" In a hushed voice, the guy next to him says, "Before you tell that joke, you should know something." ”Our bartender IS blonde, the bouncer is blonde. I'm a 6' tall, 200 lb black belt. The guy sitting next to me is 6'2", weighs 225, and he's a rugby player. The fella to your right is 6'5" pushing 300 and he's a wrestler. Each one of US is blonde. Think about it, Mister. Do you still wanna tell that joke?" The blind guy says, "Nah, not if I'm gonna have to explain it five times." Crowded Store It was the day of the big sale. Rumours of the sale (and some advertising in the local paper) were the main reason for the long line that formed by 8:30, the store's opening time, in front of the store. A small man pushed his way to the front of the line, only to be pushed back, amid loud and colourful curses. On the man's second attempt, he was punched square in the jaw, and knocked around a bit, and then thrown to the end of the line again. As he got up the second time, he said to the person at the end of the line... "That does it! If they hit me one more time, I won't open the store!" A Prisoner A prisoner in jail received a letter from his wife: "I have decided to plant some lettuce in the back garden. When is the best time to plant them?" The prisoner, knowing that the prison guards read all the mail, replied in a letter: "Dear Wife, whatever you do, DO NOT touch the back garden! That is where I hid all the gold.” A week or so later, he received another letter from his wife: "You wouldn't believe what happened. Some men came with shovels to the house, and dug up the whole back garden." The prisoner wrote another letter: "Dear wife, NOW is the best time to plant the lettuce!" Going The Wrong Way As a senior citizen was driving down the freeway, his car phone rang. Answering, he heard his wife's voice urgently warning him, "Herman, I just heard on the news that there's a car going the wrong way on 280. Please be careful!" "Heck," said Herman, "It's not just one car. It's hundreds of them!" Hope you are feeling better today!! I'm thinking of you and sending you lots of good vibes and thoughts. Love Sophie, Xoxoxoxo. http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/sophiehicks Sophie North Shore, - New Zealand - Wednesday, November 15, 2006 3:48 PM CST Caitlin, Praying hard for you. If I could come and magically remove those evil mast cells from you and put them into me instead, I would. Why can't mast cells just behave...that is what I have always wondered. Thinking soooo much about you! I am in this with you, my fellow masto friend, and sending all my fighting vibes your way! Ashley <ayoung00@hotmail.com> Boston , MA - Tuesday, November 14, 2006 11:27 PM CST Dear Caity, You don't know me but I have been reading your CB page for some time. It is because of you and a few other brave souls (like Tara and Diana) willing to share their stories that lead to my daughters diagnosis of dysautonomia. I can't begin to thank you enough for guiding us towards understanding this difficult diagnosis. You are such an insiration Caity. Your strength and courage, as well as your sense of humor is delightful. Strong in the face of overwhelming odds.... you GO GIRL!!!! My family sends love and prayers for a better day Caity. Hang in there girlie... much love, Lisa Lisa Flaherty OR - Tuesday, November 14, 2006 10:07 PM CST Hello Caity I am sorry for not writing in so long. What Tara just wrote brought me to tears (Tara thank you for updating). I have been out of the loop for so long. Jaye Bear has been in the "spa" for over 3 months now. I wish I had the time to keep up with everyone. My heart is just breaking, but I am keeping the FAITH for both of you girls and I do BELIEVE! Jaye Bear is now "legally blind" as well and has been for a couple of weeks now. I have no idea why you girls have to endure so much, but God has a plan. I just wish I know what it was before hand. Better to prepare myself. Many prayers are being said, you are a wonderful friend, and your spirit is so strong. Just like my daughters. Keep up the fight, and we will do our part by lifting you up in prayer. All our love being sent to CT. Laura - Tuesday, November 14, 2006 2:03 PM CST A Final Word From Aslan: "Here on the mountain I have spoken to you clearly: I will not often do so down in Narnia. Here on the mountain, the air is clear and your mind is clear; as you drop down into Narnia, the air will thicken. Take great care that it does not confuse your mind. And the signs which you have learned here will not look at all as you expect them to look, when you meet them there. That is why it is so important to know them by heart and pay no attention to appearances. Remember the signs and believe the signs. Nothing else matters." The Silver Chair by C.S. Lewis, chapter 2 Keep your heart and mind fixed on the signs, He will lead you through. Isaiah 40 Maureen Dunn - Tuesday, November 14, 2006 10:18 AM CST Hey Caity, I just wanted to remind you that I'm sending tons of love and hugs from here in Colorado.

Goodnight, Megan AKA Lukkychrmr42 Megan McLarin <Lukychrm42@hotmail.com> Boulder, CO USA - Tuesday, November 14, 2006 0:45 AM CST Caity, I just wanted to say I hope your doing okay. And i hope you get that mircle. :-) I know this will probably brighten your day. Fiona (my nubian goat) she is due at the end of this month or around December 1 or 2, depending on when she wants to have them. This goat i swear she has a human personality she demands to have extra food and pampering. The kiddos are doing wonderfully, growing like weeds and getting bigger and i must admit it i miss when they were so small and cuddley. Raises a glass of water, and I hope you are doing okay. Susie aka goat girl Susie <luckygoat@gmail.com> Ohio - Monday, November 13, 2006 11:43 PM CST Here's a couple of jokes for you (I have a pretty crazy sense of humour so you might not find them funny, but you can laugh at me for posting them anyway). Lol. Looking For Work This unemployed guy goes looking for work door-to-door in an upper-class neighborhood. He's having no luck all day. He approaches one house where the owner tells him he'll gladly pay him $50 to paint his porch. The unemployed guy agrees and is handed over a brush and can of paint and told to start. A few hours later the unemployed guy finds the homeowner in the garage. The homeowner asks him if he's done to which the painter responds "Yeah I finished but you should know that's a Ferrari, not a Porsche." Clarence the Parrot One night a burglar is trying to break into a house. He's sneaking across the lawn when he hears a voice - "Jesus is watching you!" He jumps, turns around, but he doesn't see anything. So he starts creeping across the lawn - again. "Jesus is watching you!" He hears it again. So now the burglar is really looking around, and he sees a parrot in a cage by the side of the house. He says to the parrot, "Did you say that?" The parrot answers "Yes I did." So the burglar says, "What's your name?" The parrot says "Clarence." The burglar says, "What kind of stupid idiot would name his parrot Clarence?" The parrot laughs and says, "The same stupid idiot that named his giant Rottweiler 'Jesus' " Race Record Boasting Some race horses staying in a stable. One of them starts to boast about his track record. "In the last 15 races, I've won 8 of them!" Another horse breaks in, "Well in the last 27 races, I've won 19!!" "Oh that's good, but in the last 36 races, I've won 28!", says another, flicking his tail. At this point, they notice that a greyhound dog has been sitting there listening. "I don't mean to boast," says the greyhound, "but in my last 90 races, I've won 88 of them!" The horses are clearly amazed. "Wow!" says one, after a hushed silence. "A talking dog." Mad Cow Disease There were these two cows, chatting over the fence between their fields. The first cow said, "I tell you, this mad-cow-disease is really pretty scary. They say it is spreading fast; I heard it hit some cows down on the Johnson Farm." The other cow replies, "I ain't worried, it don't affect us ducks." Hope you had a laugh!! Keep smiling you beautiful girl!! Love Sophie, Xoxoxoxo. http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/sophiehicks Sophie North Shore, - New Zealand - Monday, November 13, 2006 4:05 PM CST Hey Caitlin!! HOW ARE YOU??!! I am thinking of you all the time and sending you lots of good thoughts!! I have my whole family on the case to-everyone is sending you good thoughts from NZ (they travel super fast too in case you're wondering). It is a beautiful day here today so I'll send you some sunshine if you want it. I'm feeling pretty good today so plan to soak up some sun and lie around by the pool and relax.

Love Sophie, Xoxoxoxo. http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/sophiehicks Sophie North Shore, - New Zealand - Monday, November 13, 2006 4:04 PM CST Hi Caitlin - apparently my brain is taking a vacation because I can't haven't been able to think of a thought for the day. Or maybe you found them boring and God feels you're suffering enough without having to read those thoughts of mine. Oh well. I have been remembering to pray for you though, throughout the day. It appears that my thyroid is acting up again, so when I get an unsettling symptom like tachycardia it makes me think about you and Tara and Diana going through stuff like this all the time and it reminds me to pray for all of you and then I send up extra prayers for you as well. I love the Jeremy Camp song you have on your website, that is a message to cling onto with both hands and your whole heart. With warm wishes and lots of prayers - Maureen Maureen Dunn - Monday, November 13, 2006 9:25 AM CST Praying for you daily - Lifting you up and God Himself knows exactly what you need.

Susan Andrews <msagator@aol.com> Valrico, FL US - Monday, November 13, 2006 4:30 AM CST Caitlin, I'm so sorry that you have to endure all of this.

You are an amazing young woman with such strong faith- what an inspiration. Shelly <xofs1@yahoo.com> Columbia, MD US - Thursday, November 9, 2006 10:47 AM CST An elderly man in Phoenix calls his son in New York and says, "I hate to ruin your day, but I have to tell you that your mother and I are divorcing; forty-five years of misery is enough." "Pop, what are you talking about?" the son screams. "We can't stand the sight of each other any longer," the old man says, "We're sick of each other, and I'm sick of talking about this, so you call your sister in Chicago and tell her," and he hangs up. Frantic, the son calls his sister, who explodes on the phone. "Like heck they're getting divorced," she shouts, "I'll take care of this." She calls Phoenix immediately, and screams at the old man, "You are NOT getting divorced. Don't do a single thing until I get there. I'm calling my brother back, and we'll both be there tomorrow. Until then, don't do a thing, DO YOU HEAR ME?" and hangs up. The old man hangs up his phone, too, and turns to his wife. "Okay," he says, "they're coming for Thanksgiving. Now what do we tell them for Christmas?" I'm praying for those meds to kick in soon! Keep fighting the good fight Caitlin! Maureen Dunn - Thursday, November 9, 2006 9:34 AM CST YEA!! You're tolerating the meds! What a huge answer to prayer! I will keep praying that you will be able to tolerate more and more of the med and that your body will start responding in a positive way. It's been cold, wet and stormy here in the Pacific Northwest but last night the clouds parted and the moon was shining in all her glory and then this morning the golden sun is reflecting off of the clouds in a light blue sky, framed by trees that are just finishing giving up their leaves. It is a glorious sight. I don't really have a thought for the day, but it's early yet so you never know! Maureen Dunn - Wednesday, November 8, 2006 9:42 AM CST You continue to be in my prayers, Caitlin. I will keep praying that this new medication helps and you begin to feel better. Your strength and faith are such an inspiration to me. Take care! Jennifer (www.caringbridge.org/visit/jennifer) Kansas City, MO - Wednesday, November 8, 2006 7:47 AM CST I have been thinking about you everyday, and many TIMES a day (especially each time I pop the ketotifen in my mouth!). I am REALLY praying that this med is the first step in getting you "back on track". Please know that I am here for anything you may need! Ashley <ayoung00@hotmail.com> Boston , MA - Tuesday, November 7, 2006 10:03 PM CST Hey Caity, I haven't posted in awhile but I have been dropping by. What a slacker aye?? I have been thinking about you everyday and sending you good vibes and thoughts though!! I just wanted to say: HAPPY HALLOWEEN!! It's already been Halloween here in NZ (it's the 1st of November now) and we actually had three sets of trick or treaters last night can you believe it?? Barely anyone celebrates Halloween here so it was cool to see some people out and about. Take care and feel better soon!! Love Sophie. Xoxoxoxo. http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/sophiehicks Sophie Hicks North Shore, - New Zealand - Tuesday, October 31, 2006 4:46 PM CST Came here from Annie's site and wanted to tell you that I'm praying for you and I hope things begin to improve soon. ~*~Happy Halloween!!~*~ Luv, ~*Deirdre*~ Atlanta, GA - Tuesday, October 31, 2006 12:33 AM CST Sending all my love, prayers, support, and joy your way, Caity! Nikki <pookielocks@yahoo.com> Columbus, OH usa - Tuesday, October 31, 2006 10:11 AM CST Thought for the day: "God has not promised us a quiet journey - only a safe arrival." Hey Caitlin - I'm so glad that you are hanging in there. I am sorry that the last med didn't work out for you, it sounds like you've got a good resource in Ashley though, that's always such an encouragement to have someone there that has been in the same situation as you. I'll be praying that you get your new drug soon and that your body will tolerate it really well. Some funny thoughts for a change: From the commedienne Steven Wright: "All those who believe in telekinesis, raise my hand." "I almost had a psychic girlfriend but she left me before we met." "Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines." "I couldn't repair your brakes, so I made your horn louder." "I'd kill for a Nobel Peace Prize!" Laughter is good medicine, I'll be praying for God to be cracking you up at every opportunity! God's blessings on you! Maureen Dunn <maureen.m.dunn@boeing.com> WA - Monday, October 30, 2006 1:11 PM CST Awww Caity! I have been worried about you! So sorry that med didn't work. I just had to wait four months for the same med to arrive that you are waiting for. I was a mast cell mess symptom-wise without it. I am worried about how long you are going to have to wait for it. I am tempted to just send some of mine to you! I know you aren't up for it, but if your mom has any questions, she can email or call me. Dr. C (mast cell doc) is also VERY available via email from patients/parents if you guys want to contact her (or I could contact her for you). Has anyone talked about you having an epi drip yet? That is sometimes an option to just STOP the evil mast cell cycle. Thinking of you soooooo MUCH! Ashley <ayoung00@hotmail.com> Boston , MA - Sunday, October 29, 2006 9:11 PM CST Praying for you girl!! Erin - Sunday, October 29, 2006 4:11 PM CST Hi Caitlin, I am so sorry you're dealing with so much right now. I am thinking of you always and sending good energy and prayers to you.

Love, Megan Megan McLarin <Lukychrm42@hotmail.com> Boulder, CO USA - Thursday, October 26, 2006 4:06 PM CDT Thought for the day: Isaiah 49:13-16 "Shout for joy, O heavens; rejoice, O earth; burst into song, O mountains! For the LORD comforts his people and will have compassion on his afflicted ones. But Zion said, "The LORD has forsaken me, the Lord has forgotten me." "Can a mother forget the baby at her breast and have no compassion on the child she has borne? Though she may forget, I will not forget you! See, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands; your walls are ever before me." Caitlin - Jesus has engraved your name on the palms of His hands. You remain in my prayers.

Naughty, naughty. I have been stopping in a couple of times a week though to make sure your okay and to catch up on everything in your life. I'm happy and sorry to hear that Lara is heading off to college now (you know what I mean, happy because it's an exciting time and sorry because it will be hard for you two to be away from each other). My sister Mishla (26) moved out two years ago, and my brother Daniel (24) moved out about a month and a half ago. It was really hard with Daniel as we are really close and simmilar in our views and have the same crazy sense of humour and I miss having him around alot. Thankfully he comes around twice a week so I can't really complain but it's still weird. My sister usually comes around every day so it's not too hard with her, except for the fact that she's overseas at the moent so I miss her alot. So big hugs for you, I know what your going through. Mmmm pickle cravings-I get massive pickle cravings too. They're just so good. Anyway I better be off, but I just wanted to say a big hi and that I hope your feeling well and doing good. Take care of yourself, and have a beautiful day.

And your questions are NOT crazy!! This freakin disease is crazy, not your questions...like who in the world can react to prednisone? Only us mast cell folks! Keep the questions coming. I can always post questions to the mast cell list serve for you too. Mast cell disease is such a hard disease to deal with because so little is known about it, even among doctors, and it leaves us patients with very few places to turn. It is also a very finicky disease and finds its way to work around meds or just all out reject and react to meds. You can never know what to expect. I know how amazingly difficult it was for me to get a diagnosis or proper treatment, so whenever I can help someone else along to speed the process, I jump at the chance to do so! I don't want anyone else to go through what I did! If and when you are ever ready to have a one time consult with one of the three main masto researchers in the country, I can point you in the right direction. They are all good about seeing a patient once and then being willing to consult with your local pcp. Ashley <ayoung00@hotmail.com> Boston, MA - Thursday, August 24, 2006 6:06 PM CDT Hey girl!

I am reacting to crayons, vinyl gloves, iv tubing, and balloons (but NOT allergic to latex). The common thing in all of those items is some technical term for a component of rubber (I don't remember the technical term). SInce we both have the iv tubing and crayon issue, I would bet you are reacting to something that is found in rubber.

I'm glad your fever/feeling sick was short lived and I hope you have continued to feel better since then. That's really cool about your dad's patent on a surgical tool. I think I remember you mentioning in a chat with me quite awhile ago that your dad is a biomedical engineer, right? That's what I'm majoring in, so that really peaked my interest.

Erin <vivacita@gmail.com> - Friday, May 5, 2006 4:11 AM CDT Caity, thanks for making me think! :) I remember thinking to myself this summer, while I was driving back and forth to see my daughter in the hospital, "Get out of my way, I'm going to see my injured daughter!" I really should try and think about what others are going through, you just never know what's going on.

Prayers are the best gift ever, although, knowing you is right up there! :) I am praying it's just an electrolyte imbalance too - and i def know what u mean about wanting an easy solution! so, no you haven't gone crazy! haha. potassium = evil...well, low potassium anyhow..and the horse pills...or the burning when it goes thru a peripheral iv! haha. i think you need a little break from the twists and turns as your medical stuff has more twists and turns than the OC or ...yeah..u know! okay, i'm done but i reallllly hope you feel better asap and just know that EVERY TINY NANOSECOND of each day, i think about you and admire you and i just think the world of you!! :) I know God is holding your hand and walking you through this and He's never going to let go!!! you're my hero! hugs and mucho love, tara :) ps- i had labs drawn today too! we both had a vampire visit today! lol. oh and I LOVE YOU WAY MORE THAN LOTS! :) hope ollie is feeling better! :) pps- apologies for typos. or however you spell that word :P Tara Jones http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/tarabara Kensington, CA United States - Wednesday, May 3, 2006 5:21 PM CDT Oh MY!

Anyhow i am really praying for you so hard as always! hope the steroid taper is going/went well (yes prednisone makes the WEIRDEST things seem yummy!) and i hope even more that this new treatment for the mastocytosis helps you A LOT!!! do the rx's say "take with or without food"? haha. omg my all time favorite is when it says to take antiemetics with food if they cause stomach discomfort! hahah isn't the point so you CAN tolerate some food??!?! wow, i got off on a tangent..where was i??? OH! yes, so i really hope that God helps the medicines and your doctors keep the mastocytosis under control and that you can avoid chemo at least for a while until you are feeling a bit stronger! i've been reading up on mastocytosis any chance i get so i'm learning slowly and i just feel awful that you have to go through it all. but you never wimper (for some reason i think i spelled that wrong.....oy i think i need to repeat kindergarten... is it whimper?? maybe. yeah looks better!) and you always smile and you are so sunny and full of God's love and power and confidence and strength - i look up to you sooooooo much and God has definitely created a masterpiece in you!!! :) Happy Sunday!!! I hope Lara found a cool dress for prom! and yes, i think staying out of the way of prom shopping is a good idea....can be just a wee bit overstimulating. heck, some of the patterns on the dresses can be overstimulating! lol. and congrats to your dad on the invention! hope you and ollie feel better and better and better and then you can both trot along like dorothy and toto. (random fact: when i was little and just learning to write/scribble, i always wrote my name as "toto" not "tara"...yes i was and am special!) i'll end the essay here as i seriously think i just ran/wrote a marathon! lol. hope you have nice day free of health-related excitement (well..unless it's the good kind of excitement!) hugs and sooo much love, tara :) Tara Jones http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/tarabara Kensington, CA United States - Sunday, April 30, 2006 12:41 AM CDT WAKEY WAKEY HAPPY BIRTHDAY silly puppy.

Has anyone mentioned trying you on Gastrocrom yet...that is the main mast cell stabilizer out there. Did your doc ever get a chance to contact Dr. Castells? Be careful with any doc pushing you into chemo. There aren't any chemos yet that have been found to kill a mast cell. There are a few experimental chemos out there that help control symptoms, but not with a huge amount of success. I honestly am waiting for the day they find a chemo that can KILL a mast cell, because at the moment, there isn't really any chemo out there for us (someone needs to get on that!).

I've met the lion (well alot of it was computer generated but they based everything on him). The movie was filmed mostly in NZ, and they used a lion from a place called Zion Wildlife Gardens. That wildlife park is incredible-they have the most amazing keeper, a man named Craig, and all the lions/tigers/other animals there think he's their father. Craig can hug them and do anything with them, and they just love him. All his animals are so amazing, but his big cats are just incredible. Sorry to hear about the chokey-swallowing thing.

It comes in an amazing array of flavors. When my kids were small, we used to make "Jell-o" by using the juice and unflavored gelatin. They got what they considered a treat, and it was healthy.

But that sounds like a bad thing ..confetti isn't bad it'd just be easier to have one of those dust blowers to spread it all around. although, i think that would get a bit over stimulating and that would be bad news. so maybe we'll IMAGINE the confetti! :P ok, wow. it's tara's-being-special-in-the-unique-kind-of-way time! myyyy bad! i'm sooo sorry you have been having such a hard time with food and throwing up and bleckhiness! (yes that word exists...well...i say it does). it sounds funny to say BLECKH! Okay wow, so off topic. what was i writing about?........oh, yes, ur so strong and never even whimper! You are just such an example of God's love and strength and that fact that with Him, anything is possible! He knows what is best! Hard to always remember when you get an injury a football player would get just from trying to eat. well, you could tell people you are some olympic athlete. i mean, organizing pills is strenuous. and eating...food rocks for sure but i say you just put your gi tract on a time out. set it straight! tell it you are gonna trade it in if it'snot nice. oh and even better, tell it i'll beat it up or uh.....knock it back into shape if it doesn't quite tormenting you! grrrrr motility probs grrrr mast cell probs. I say we rent new bodies. or let's make a rentabody business. we'd be gubazillionaires! ok i'm falling asleep again....but wasn't all that alert in the first place as i'm sure you can see wiht my crackheaded entry!

Glad to hear your hanging on in there and being so positive. I know exactly what you mean with living "despite" conditions rather then your life being about them. It took me awhile to come to that conclusion though-I guess when your first diagnosed everything is just so new and scary, that your whole life is just focussed on your conditions and nothing else. Anyway I'm probablly making no sense and totally rambling, so I'll stop now. Hehe. It's a beautiful day here, although I'm still in bed. I will get outside later though and just laze around in the sun. Sending you some sunshine!!

I loved your comments about the pill bottle warnings. I've always found it most funny that some of the meds I take for fainting say "May cause dizziness" on them. One of my pain meds also says to take with or without food and I always thought that was pretty redundant, so I'm glad I'm not the only one who's noticed it. I hope that you feel better soon and can enjoy your 22nd birthday.

I have always steered myself towards warmer drinks that are low in fat, i guess naturally bc those are easy to tolerate, but my gi doc said that warm drinks that are low in fat and high in protein are easiest to tolerate. of course, it depends on thickness, as well, but way back when i found a few things that are low in fat, high in protein, yet still high in calories! :D Okay, i'm done rambling, i just know how unpleasant it can be to spend the day by the puke bowl (not like the super bowl...but, yeah, you know what i mean..hehe). most importantly, i want to let u know i am always keeping you in my prayers and i know God is taking wonderful care of you! Some people have internships with companies but this is like your internship with God! hehe. feeeeel better! love u soooo much! hugs, tara ok..wait, i didn't say it yet so i can't resist: i love you way more than lots!!!!! :D Tara http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/tarabara Kensington, CA - Wednesday, January 25, 2006 11:29 AM CST Hello, just thought i would pop by your page to have a nosey at how you are doing, hope you manage to gain some weight soon Love Viks from viks <viks@postpals.co.uk> - Saturday, January 21, 2006 11:31 AM CST i love u caity!!!!!! your journal entries always make me smile.

That's all Lord? That's ALL you want ME to do? Hmmmm, pretty simple task, eh? NOT! Specially fer a control freak like me.... that's why He's not finished with me yet :P Jonna (yer udder friend from the south) <sorryican'tshowitbecauseIbeengettinquackyemails@yahoo.com> Corydon (Hickville),Iowa, Cowboycountry where the tall corn grows US OF A - Tuesday, September 27, 2005 10:48 PM CDT Hey Caity!! PLEASE, PLEASE don’t say that you only have one friend– you have everyone from DYNA. I know that it’s not the same, but we’re all here for you and love you and care about you, and consider you to be OUR friend. Seriously, I always look up to you for how strong and determined and positive you always are, and you are an amazing role model. Don’t forget that! On the health front, I am SO sorry that you need to deal with all that blood/bone marrow crappiness. That just sucks :(!! I really hope that you get yet another miracle and your counts start going up...and soon! Just an FYI though, I may be wrong, but I think they can do BMAs under conscious sedation. Although I’m sure that they’re not fun AT ALL in any case. Well, I really hope that you start to feel better, and I’ll check back soon. Love ya!! *~Sarina~* <sarina_d@yahoo.com> Philadelphia, PA - Tuesday, September 27, 2005 9:24 PM CDT BTW, did you write the FAITH poem???It's way kewl!!! Jonna Corydon, Ia - Tuesday, September 27, 2005 4:46 PM CDT I must say that those angel wings are very becoming!! But praise God they are the earthly kind because God surely has more work for you to do here! What a wonderful testimony about the wedding! We are truly overcomers by the Word of our testimony and the blood of the Lamb (Jesus) WHOOOOO HOOOOO PRAISE YE THE LORD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GOD IS GREAT ISN'T HE?????? Jonna Reed (a friend in the Lord) Corydon, Ia - Tuesday, September 27, 2005 4:42 PM CDT heyyy, AOL's being stupid...so I'll leave the love here. Nice pic by the way but wasn't that shirt reeaaallly old like 3 years ago? Uh huh thats what I thought.I notice these things. Don't make me call ambush makeover on you. I need to come visit...no one around here is cool enough to throw spoons off a balcony with me. Peace, Jo Jojo <sunnygirl316@yahoo.com> - Sunday, September 25, 2005 4:39 PM CDT Hi Caity: Thanks for the title of the song! I am sooo glad that you are feeling better! You are a real trooper! We can do NOTHING WITHOUT HIM! I pull up your webpage many times and keep it up so I can listen to the song while I am working on the net! I just LOVE that song and have been unable to find it! It's the testimony of my life! And obviously it's the testimony of yours also or else you wouldn't have it on your website! Right on? God uses us so He can refine us and break us to make us more like Him. If we didn't go through trials and tribulations, have infirmities of the flesh, we wouldn't know how great His grace or how great His healing power is! He has done many, many miracles in my life. I suffer from a very debilitating illness that has caused great trial for my husband and my four children. The valleys are low, low, low, but it's in the valleys where one grows and God can teach us, break us, train us and speak to us. If we are on the mountain top all the time and soar as eagles, we'd lose our sight of Him; lose all circumspect of what He's done for us. We serve an on-time God. There are no mistakes in His kingdom. All things work together for the good for those that love Him and are called according to His purpose. He's an awesome God. I thank Him for the valley's....I thank Him for the things He put me through...for if I never had a problem, I'd never know that He could solve them...I'd never know what faith in God could do.....part of my favorite song "Through it all." Keep believin' and praying for a healing. Until then, be content in all things, which you are. You have an awesome attitude for a young lady with so much against her. Keep on keepin' on. Joy cometh in the morning! And it's always a joyeous morning with the Lord on our side! Peace & Joy in Him, Jonna Reed (a friend in the Lord) <onegodgirl2004@yahoo.com> Corydon, Ia - Friday, September 23, 2005 8:56 AM CDT Hi Caity, Im so sorry that it has been so long since we have signed.

Okay so I know I signed your GB like a couple days ago, but your update just made my day!! Sadly, my Mom and I have had the same "colonoscopy findings" experience, except I'm not as talented as you and couldn't hold in the laughing... well it came out more as a laugh/cough- it was the best I could do. Just know you aren't alone!! Sounds like the tube is giving you a bit of trouble, but 11 months is indeed pretty impressive! Good luck with the procedure- I'll be thinking of you!! Much love!! Diana <dianasinger06@yahoo.com> Dallas, TX - Sunday, July 31, 2005 7:28 PM CDT Sounds like you had quite an adventure at the hospital. I hope the surgery goes smoothly!

I think Debbie's next mission should be starting a school for dysautonomiacs in FL ;). I hope that you're feeling well, and aren't crashing too badly from your CT mini chill (which I am SO jealous of). Sarina <sarina_d@yahoo.com> - Wednesday, July 27, 2005 2:48 AM CDT Hey Bambi (true for now but not for long I hope, or maybe by now you’re the driver? *hopeful* or just some pedestrian off in the distance?) How did you like our mini Chill? I had a lot of fun but I am worn out from it, and insomnia is creeping back on me, it is almost four AM *sigh* So anyway . . . I feel like such a boring guestbook signer, I have no blinkey flashy stuff, on second thought (or whatever the brainless equivalent is) the blinkey stuff drives me kinda nuts, too much moving around, I would tell it to just stand still, but do you think it would listen? Cuz I don’t. I am trying to remember some clever alias that I could use here but I can’t think of any, no big surprise there. **Heather** PS – if you are reading this and I am not online . . . maybe you can read my blog (and comment, I really love comments) <3 Heather Southbury, CT USA - Tuesday, July 26, 2005 3:01 AM CDT Hi Caitlin!

Cindy Garland <cindy_garland@msn.com> Quantico, VA USA - Saturday, May 21, 2005 9:39 PM CDT Caity, I read your entry on my daughter, Grace's website. Thank you for your prayers and for your inspiring attitude! I grew up as a Christian, but it has taken my child being so profoundly special to teach me how to truly love and believe in God. I never know when my last day with her will be, but I do know that God loves us and has a plan. My husband and I have been completely broken by this experience, but in that brokenness, we have strengthened our relationships with God, eachother, and our family and friends. You are an amazing young woman and I am so thankful that God blessed you with such a huge heart. I encourage you to read a book called "Brokenness" by Lon Solomon. It's about how God redeems pain and suffering. This book was very encouraging for me and helped me understand my main question... why? God bless you, Caity, as your spirit has blessed me.

I am the mother of a 23 year old daughter who has had many health struggles over the years & reading your past journals so reminded me of my daughter. Your faith is inspiring & like her, you at such a young age, already recognize this journey as a gift from God. You are a beautiful young woman, both inside & out & I just feel that God has a great plan for you. I will be checking on you Caity & praying for you daily. May God Bless you & keep you in the Palms of His hands.

That's so cool that you made christmas boxes for kids who won't have any other presents! You are so thoughtful. You are right, that would be awsome to see their faces when they open them. We sent a christmas box to our friend Dave in Iraq and included stuff for him to give to all his troop-mates and I wish we could see them when they get their presents, too. Love, Lauren. :) http://www2.caringbridge.com/ct/laurenmoynihan Lauren <AbbaRabbit@Yahoo.com> Elmwood, CT USA - Tuesday, December 7, 2004 11:08 AM CST Best wishes!
