Caitlin Can't Remember

For three-and-a-half years, the Littles have searched in vain for solutions to Caitlin's problems. It's to the point where they are almost afraid to be optimistic, again. But when there are signs of improvement, how can you not begin to hope? A new combination of treatments are giving the Littles, just that.

After more than two years of searching, Chris and Jennifer Little feel like they have finally found something they can attack to heal their daughter, Caitlin. What they didn't count on, was how Caitlin's body was going to handle the attempts at healing.

After more than two years with no answers for Caitlin's anterograde amnesia, Chris and Jennifer Little have had to transition to survival mode. How do we help her get through her day? Would that be impossible? Not if the folks at, "Not Impossible Labs," have anything to say about it.

On the 2-year anniversary of Caitlin's accident, October 12, 2017, her parents still are searching for answers. The family has spent two years looking for a cure not just to Caitlin’s amnesia, but the headaches and neck pain that have been her constant companions, the Littles believe they finally may have a breakthrough, but it comes from an unusual source. Meantime, Caitlin’s parents find, they’re not alone.

Now, 18 months into their search for answers to Caitlin’s amnesia, the family begins to realize where this may be leading, and Caitlin’s big sister begins to see the writing on the wall.

It’s been 18 months. There have been a lot of questions and sparingly few answers. Chris and Jennifer Little have tried just about everything they can think of – and, certainly, everything they can afford – to try to find an answer to their teenage daughter’s anterograde amnesia. They continue to hit dead ends, leading them to wonder, is this as good as it gets for Caitlin?

As the stories about Caitlin’s condition begin to get out, thoughts and suggestions pour in from around the world, including from some very famous doctors who are big enough to go by only one name.

Caitlin’s condition not only affects her life but has changed the dynamic throughout the entire family, from the sweet relationships they all had before her injury to trying to pay the mounting medical bills. Then, the community steps in.

After a year of searching for answers to why their daughter wakes up, each morning, with no memory of the day before, Chris and Jennifer Little finally find a doctor who may have some answers. But first, he has some very bad news.

When Caitlin Little suffered a traumatic brain injury and, even more than a year later, couldn’t remember anything since the accident, her parents turned desperately to modern, medical science for answers. What they got was a collective shrug. Doctor after doctor – the best specialists around – all said they couldn’t find anything wrong with her. Some suggested Caitlin might simply be choosing not to remember. That’s when her parents went down the darkest road of their lives. Could this all be fake? Is it all a trick Caitlin is playing on everyone?

It seems like an exercise in futility, sending a teenager to school when you know she won’t remember anything she’s taught that day. Why would Caitlin’s parents do that? And why would her school buy in, 100%. In this episode of “Caitlin Can’t Remember,” hear how Caitlin gets through her school day and the shocking diagnosis they got, when her parents took her to one of the nation’s finest hospitals to be evaluated.

The reward of a life well-lived is a treasure of fond memories as you glide into your golden years. But what if you can’t remember? Not just a particular happening. What if you can’t remember … anything? Caitlin Little seemed to be doing everything right: she was an excellent student, a star on the cross country team at her high school, and a young lady other kids wanted to be around. Then, one day at practice, it all changed.
