Pillow Angel: freezing growth

When I first read about Ashley I could only respect the incredibly difficult situation she and her parents were in. Aside from the sympathetic overviews of the ethics and critiques of the parents choices and the incredible respect for the care they put into explaining about Ashley on their blog I thought of a fragment of a conversation we had during one of Sasha's clinic visits as we waited in her cardiologist's office: if only she didn't grow anymore she wouldnt need more cardiac surgeries.
