Catherine (Cat)’s Story

Site created on December 27, 2019

Welcome to our CaringBridge website. We are using it to keep family and friends updated in one place. We appreciate your support and words of hope and encouragement. Thank you for visiting.
On December 13, 2019, Catherine had what was supposed to be outpatient surgery to replace her breast implants which she had just gotten after a double mastectomy due to a recent breast cancer diagnosis.  That surgery had a major complication, Cat aspirated while under anesthetic and has been in a medically induced coma since December 13. Please pray for our dear Cat, we love her so much and she is an important member of our family.
