At 16 years old, Taylor Tenhoff has already undergone two bone marrow transplants, one of the most evasive and painful operations executed for terminally ill patients.
In the fourth grade, Taylor was diagnosed with Severe Aplastic Anemia, a disease in which the bone marrow is damaged, causing deficiency in red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets.
Taylor’s parents, Russ and Monica, said they noticed something was wrong when Taylor wasn’t “being himself.”
