Kaitlyn Dobrow started feeling under the weather, but she wasn’t just getting sick with a normal virus. What happened to her was sudden and horrifying. But she found a way to overcome it all.
- When Kaitlyn first fell ill, her mother thought she was getting sick with the flu.
- She was a happy 19 year-old that enjoyed dancing and sports.
- But, she didn’t have the flu… doctors were shocked to find out that Kaitlyn had a rare form of meningitis.
- The bacterial infection meningococcemia is often fatal. Kaitlyn was originally given just a week to live, but then they removed her limbs. 20 surgeries later, she began recovering.
- With a friend’s help, Kaitlyn received a visit from John Stamos, who tried to cheer her up.
- He even promised to take her to Disneyland once her health improved.
- Even though she still needs skin graphs and lots of rehabilitation, Kaitlyn has hope. Without her limbs, she was able to draw the picture seen above – she is determined to find joy in life again.
Kaitlyn isn’t without hope, though. She has her whole life ahead of her, a date with John Stamos and lots of rehabilitation.
“You get to the point where you have no control. You know it’s in His hands you have to trust Him and we’re able to do that,” her mother Kathi told reporters, referring to God.
