Family in 'memory-making frenzy' after daughter, 9, diagnosed with fatal condition that causes onset childhood dementia
The fatal condition means Caitlin will suffer onset childhood dementia, seizures, loss of motor and language skills.
Her parents were also told the condition could be hereditary, and so their other three children, aged nine, five and two, would also need to be tested. Due to the disease’s trigger of onset childhood dementia, her family fell into a “memory-making frenzy” as they realised her long-term memory would be untouched by the dementia for the longest period of time – so the sooner memories are made, the better chance she has of remembering them.Former Manchester United goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar out of intensive care after suffering bleed around brainAfter Caitlin was diagnosed, her family jetted off to Florida on a trip to Disney World.
Since, Caitlin has visited Harry Potter studios and theme parks, has met the England women’s football team, been Harry Kane’s mascot, flown to Germany to meet Ed Sheeran and more.Writing on their page, her family said: “Whilst most parents will be planning for a future where they need to help their child with university fees, house deposits, driving licenses and wedding costs, we will be doing none of this.
“Caitlin's jaw was on the floor when he walked out. At first, she could only see his shape and the she recognised his voice and then when he got closer, she could see him.”But Caitlin is still hoping to strike more items off her bucket list, as she wants to go on a cruise with her favourite YouTubers, the Nina Kidz and visit Majorca, where her parents met.
