We did not know how appropriate Valor’s name would be until we sat in a hospital room taking in the news of Valor’s preliminary diagnosis of SDS as his bone marrow biopsy showed 60% function and his weight and height were not even on growth charts at almost 6 months of age. But our tiny Valor has lived up to his name time and time again as he battles this disease with strength and valor! Through this illness, we have sought after and leaned on our source for strength and hope—God has truly been our Valor!
