At about this time, 4 months ago, I started realizing something wasn’t right with Sam. He’d just gotten home from CAMP the day before and he had spent the day with his BFF Alec working out at the YMCA. He sent John this photo of his right cheek where the tiniest of spots wouldn’t stop bleeding. 

I thought it was caused by him taking Advil for >10 days (for his broken wrist).

It wasn’t. 

We are 1/9th the way into our marathon. Grateful for Sam’s response to the medicine so far and for the excellent treatment he’s gotten at LPCH and for all of you following this journey and lifting us up with your “likes”, your comments, and your friendship/family.
