Mary Matheson prepares to set up Liam Doxsee’s feeding tube at the family’s home in Coal Valley, Ill., on Sunday, Sept. 17, 2023. Liam has friends and family who support him through all the challenges he faces. “How we support him is just giving him a little bit of grace and time and learning patience,” Liam’s mother Mary Matheson said. “With him and all he’s been through, he has a lot of trauma and anxiety.”
