The former Full House star posted a picture of himself bedside on Tuesday at the California hospital room of Kaitlyn Dobrow, with the caption, “I’m ONLY doing this cause they asked. I said no press. but this story is a must read- plus me and katie have a date to Disneyland.”

Dubrow had a bout with a deadly bacterial infection, which forced doctors to amputate her limbs to save her life. The teenager was admitted to a California hospital in February and since then, the number of surgeries she’s undergone is in the double digits.

In another pic posted on Twitter, Stamos said, “we’re planning our trip to @disneyland !!!” Dobrow is smiling, wearing a Minnie Mouse shirt.

Kathi Dobrow, Kaitlyn’s mother, told her daughter’s story on a fundraising site that raised more than $77,000 to help the family accommodate her needs with rehab, and a possible new car or new home that’s better suited for her after all of the the surgeries.

To follow Dobrow’s recovery, a Facebook page “Caring for Katie” has been set up.
