As Samantha nears her 80th day, I continue to reflect the impact our journey has had upon our family, including Samantha's younger brother. He is about to turn 8 years old and is certainly not the tallest in his class. When Samantha first began taking growth hormone therapy, her brother could not believe she had the courage to take daily injections, let alone having the positive attitude she exudes while doing so.
Tonight, on the eve Samantha reaches 80 days, I asked Spencer whether he would take growth hormone therapy if his doctor recommended it. He replied, "Well, if it has to be done, it has to be done."
Well said little brother; what a wonderful way to support your big sister.
