Saturday, January 19, 2008

Caitlyn Napper, the 5-year-old whose struggle with a brain tumor and whose trip to Walt Disney World were profiled last year by the Times-Gazette, will appear Monday on WSMV-TV (Channel 4)'s "More at Midday" newscast as an ambassador for the Make-A-Wish Foundation, which organized her Disney trip. She is seen here dancing with Cinderella during her trip. Caitlyn specifically asked to have her feeding tube removed before the trip so that she would look more like a princess; happily, she continued to gain weight and the feeding tube has not been restored.

aawww....this is so sweet. Is she in remission? I hope she continues to do well without the feeding tube. My prayers go out to Caitlyn and her family.
