When most of us look back on our teens years, we have fond memories. For Phillip Hartman of Laurel, many memories were made in a hospital room. After being plagued with constant back pain, Phillip was diagnosed with Thoracic Sclerosis, a severe curvature of the spine. Surgery was necessary to prevent problems with his heart and breathing. The surgery caused complication and left Phillip paralyzed from the waste down. Phillip and his mother, Faith, talk about how faith and a lot of hard work got him back on his feet again.

We’re getting closer and closer to the second ever Shore Living Expo. This is an event we at WBOC put on and it’s happening this Saturday. We sit down with two of the women putting it together.
