Caitlin Barker has been dealing with Transverse Myelitis since July 2019. “I had to be on a breathing tube multiple times because my lungs kept filling with fluid,” Caitlin Barker said. “I can straighten my fingers on my right hand a lot,” Caitlin Barker said. My legs keep moving uncontrollably more and more and I am getting better at sitting up. So when I had my second lung collapse, it was really bad, so dad said I could get a puppy,” Caitlin Barker said.
