“I kind of don’t remember a time that I haven’t known Dr. Taniguchi. He came up with the perfect concoction and treatment for my legs that made things easier for me. But more than that, even when I was very young, he always did such a great job of explaining things to me. He made what could’ve been a scary time feel safe, ”Abby says. “Going forward, I know there's life outside of basketball, so I'm looking at being a child life specialist to help kids and families who are going through stuff similar to what I went through."
