"You just never know, what's gonna happen within a week, within a month, you know? So it's being able to just kind of like, feel normal, have fun, see him smile," said Laura Hernandez. The family is also spreading awareness about the need for bone marrow and blood donors. On January 22, they'll mark a major milestone and celebrate 100 days since Thiago's bone marrow transplant.
