She got to grow up, knowing this fellow, and the one friend she always told me is the family car had to have the front seat removed so that way he could fit into the backseat, therefore fitting in the car lol. It’s true that this does caused a huge on comfortability and immense amount of pain at times. Pituitary issues are no laughing matter.

      From what I heard, a kid kicked him in The shins, and since he had those metal braces on his legs it caused an injury that apparently went
      Septic
      I don't know if that's true
      But it's what I've heard
      It would make sense because the feet are like the last stop when it comes to blood flow
      So I would think the taller that you are the more strain your body would be under for blood circulation
      And if he ever smoked, or had diabetes it increases the chances of gangrene from a cut
      I feel sorry for him
      If they could have done surgery or gave some sort of treatment for his pituitary gland
      He probably would have stopped growing at like 7 ft something
      More manageable
      I also assume that he did not sleep well
      Which also a really strains the heart
