Thankyou so much for your quick reply, this movie is so touching and you're right, he is/was SUCH a brave little boy. God bless you and your family. x

The sores on his face toward the end of his life were from a fever that hit 103 and a reaction to an antibiotic. The two worked against each other and caused blisters which were filled with fluid. When those blisters ruptured it caused a leathery type skin. We applied LOTS of lotion to his face for days and he lost the blisters and the leathery look.
And he was a brave little boy! He faced more in his short 8 years than most of us could handle as adults. He is, was, and always will be my HERO!!!

That was so sad, I have been reading alot of these comments on this video and I think everyones thoughts and opinions have been covered all ready, so therefore I wont go into detail how brave your son was, I just feel I have to say something though because this little boy is SOO brave. Why did he have such a sore face in some parts of the movie? I'm assuming that it is because of the cancer but what causes it?

I am so sorry for your loss. I watched this twice and with such pain. I cannot even fathom what you all went thru losing your beautiful brown eyed boy. My problems seem just so insignificant compared to this. May God bless you and your family and remember that you will be with him again one day.

Your beautiful brave son Doug was an inspiration to me 12 months ago. I have 3 kids and my youngest is 22 months old. the moment I saw Doug I put my cigarettes into the bin and never had another cigarette again. Your son inspired me to do this and I think of him almost daily when I see my kids. He is looking in on his family with the largest smile on his face all the time. thankyou for sharing your pain you will never know how many people in many ways you have helped by doing so.
