Sammy Nahorny, 6, reacts after radiology specialists determined that the levels are too high and he has to spend another night in the recovery room at Comer Children's Hospital at the University of Chicago, April 17, 2014. Chris and Erin Nahorny, parents of Sammy, are allowed to enter his room as radiation levels subsided following radiation therapy. (Zbigniew Bzdak/Chicago Tribune/MCT)
