Five Billy Goat Gruffs

Some time in PA gave SD a chance to catch up with some old friends.

The littlest billy goat gruff. Cute little fellow with the biggest smile that hides a devasting cancer within.



This superstar princess is a miracle, both of modern medicine and of the human spirit. Born with a rare autoimmune disorder that left her own immune system destroying her gut and lungs, she has always had a radiantly cheerful personality that gave her the strength to survive the many surgeries and treatments and that has inspired hundreds, perhaps thousands, of admirers and supporters. Last year, a bone marrow transplant gave her working regulatory T cells that could keep her immune system in check. Now she is growing like a weed, eating lots and lots, and still shines with her innate charisma and charm.


They grow up so fast. From baby to tween in a twinkling of an eye. I did get her to look up once or twice from the computer.
