EB

My sister Terri has a close friend who's son has a disease called Eb(This is the shortened name)
Not many people Know much about it. It's such a terrible terrible thing. Terri is actually his school aid. Anyways A photographer came in and took these pics of him and this story was written about him here. They are really close to a cure. I just really couldn't imagine what this little boy has to endure. Please watch it.

Colt if you read this, They heard Ollie saying the Argyle the octopus story. They loved it cuz it could have been a story about living with EB. Who knew?

I can't believe how big Garret is getting! Last time I saw him he was like Ollie's age. Next time I hear "Argyle the Octopus" it's going to have a whole new meaning.

I remember him when he was first born and I went with you to visit Terri. Gosh, it still affects me deeply as much as when I first heard about it. makes me appreciate and stop complaining about my own life. I can't even imagine.

I see that the Argyle the Octopus story is mentioned on here. It is a beautiful story that I heard on Yo Gabba Gabba. It's very touching, especially when living with EB. I was wondering if anyone had the story written down or could post a copy of it. I can't find it anywhere. Thank you.
