Sick girls who became best friends at hospital reunite one year on
Emotional footage of two girls being reunited after they met and bonded at a hospital a year earlier when they were both ill.
In the video, captured on November 12 at her parents' home in Austin, Texas, the doorbell rings. Seven-year-old Hanna opens the door, where a large cardboard box is waiting for her.
Hanna opens the box and her older friend Paige is inside to surprise her.
The two met in a hospital, where both were treated for serious illnesses.
Paige has been sick since the age of two and suffers from severe brittle asthma, adrenal insufficiency, POTS, and cold-induced urticaria.
Younger Hanna has SSS (short stature syndrome), severe atopic dermatitis and severe allergies.
As the oldest patient, Paige was asked by the nurses to play with Hanna, who was six at the time and "terribly scared", according to Paige's mother.
"From then on out, they were inseparable. They spent every moment they could together and went from calling each other best friends, to unbiological sisters," Paige's mother told Newsflare.
"Paige continues to be extremely happy and positive making everyone around her wonder how she always stands strong!"
