Help Carrie raise money

Kaitlyn is a 23-year-old fighting neurofibromatosis type 1. She was diagnosed with NF1 at six months of age. She was a full-term pregnancy with little complications. At birth she was put into ICU for a few hours due to breathing difficulty. Immediately during her first days, Kaitlyn was very fussy. It became clear she was having bowel problems. She was taken to doctors and treated for stomach issues. She was then sent to a genetics specialist because of a café au lait spot on her stomach. More and more “Katy-bug” spots started to appear as she got older, along with freckling under arms, hair on her lower back, posture issues etc. It was quickly suspected that she had NF. A DNA blood test confirmed that she indeed had “deleted chromosome 17” neurofibromatosis type 1. We were told her life expectancy was 9 years and she wouldn’t be able to learn past the ranking of a few years old. curenf4kaitlyn.blogspot.com
