i just found out that sandy has died. how sad :( does anybody know when this happened??? trying to find it on the web. al im getting is youtube videos. about her liffe. i have seen many of them before and they are very good.
Halfway through it I fell asleep, so annoyed, one of the boys was so tall, he was the only child in the world with this disease, his eyes were so puffy, his poor hands were so knobbly, he was 13 and I think they have found something to stop him growing, they have been experimenting on rats.the Thai girl, I think she was thai, was the tallest female now in the world, she has 2 surgeries, unsucceful,her father couldnt afford the meds, she is now going into the guiness book of records, and because she will get some cash from this, they are giving her treatment, Idont know where though, that was the last bit I saw, before I dropped off.but I felt so sorry for the lad, he looked so unwell, and he couldnt walk properly.after watching about him, I felt so sad, but thankful. Take care Jokey
