'I’m horrified that someday she’s going to wake up and look in the mirror — and a 35-year-old woman’s going to look back at her,' says father Chris Little
, which was just one week ago. She doesn’t know what gifts she received, that she went out to dinner with her family, and that she made gift bags for the homeless.
“At first we thought she had a minor concussion, and so many doctors told her it was just in her head,” says her father, Chris Little, 53. “But it didn’t take long to realize something was seriously wrong.” “What happens when there’s a hit to the head is that the brain ends up moving back and forth within the skull,” he says. “The sheer force of impact causes the brain to usually hit the other side and bounce backwards. The areas of her brain that are connecting cables delivering information to and from different regions, called the white-matter tracks, were likely damaged by the brain injury.”
The ordeal has also taken its toll on Caitlin’s siblings —Sarah, 18, Benjamin, 14, and Daniel, 11. “It’s very stressful for them,” says Chris, “and I worry that they feel like they’re left out.” Caitlin pitches in around the house and enjoys family trips to the thrift store or the farmers market.Man Makes Fiancée Fall in Love with Him Every Day After She Suffers Amnesia Following an Accident
