** The most we get is Tod's doctor telling him that he's built up ''some'' immunities, but something like a bad cold could easily kill him.

The film was well received, and won a posthumous UsefulNotes/EmmyAward for Hyland's performance as Mickey Lubitch (Hyland died of breast cancer four months after initial airing).

* SituationalSexuality: Tod spends time in the hospital with another boy named Roy, who's his age and shares his condition (albeit for a lot less time). He seems a little ''too'' happy to have a bunkmate and doesn't talk about anything other than masturbation and/or sex. And how he wants to have sex with everything.
