Health
Will has never had any blood transfusions nor does he take
any medications regularly which is not typical for FA
patients. Will’s blood counts have
gradually declined over the years. They are now critically below normal. However, even with low counts, Will’s health
has remained pretty stable. Even his
doctors have stated that they are amazed how good he looks for having such low
counts.
