Read Erin Sullivan's story: "His room is a boy's room, mostly frozen in time from when his mom decorated it seven years ago. It is covered with sports things he can't really see. His NASCAR-themed comforter is deep blue and violet. Edgar can't tell the difference between black and blue anymore. Anything black -- black cord, black sock, black notebook -- left on the bed is lost.
"There's a Rusty Wallace border along the top of his walls, which are blanketed with plaques -- of him playing baseball, playing football, the ones when the Florida Marlins won the World Series, the ones when the Tampa Bay Buccaneers won the Super Bowl. There is a big one of Dale Earnhardt above his computer desk. He can't see Earnhardt anymore, but he still can read the largest word on the poster: Victory."
