Hi!
I am in the "go for it" camp too! Like others have said, it would be really nice for Caitlin to have a doctor who knows firsthand what she is going thru. It would not bother me to see a dr in a wheelchair, more important to me is what comes out of their mouth!
(We've seen some real cads in her short life, but we have great doctors now thru trial & error!!) It would be really cool for her to see someone else accomplishing so much! I worry about her limiting herself...I always said, hey she could be a programmer like her mommy!!
College is not going to be a choice in our household...we talk about it with the kids all the time even though they are little (5, 3, 1) yet. I always ask them if they are going to be a Badger?! Even if she can't go that far away, there are plenty of UW's close to home here for her. Good luck, go with your heart!
