The following pages provide a brief photographic history of Will's medical history. We apologize that some of the pictures are disturbing.  Again, it is not our desire to upset people who have loved and cared about Will.  However, the fact remains that this suffering befell him.  In truth, these pictures tend not to show Will's worst days--as we did not take pictures at those times.
