Samantha Kortenhoeven brings a cup of milk to her mother, Bobby Stephens, on Saturday, Oct. 26, 2024, at their home in Lawrenceburg, Kentucky. “I've learned all these diseases that she has, so then I've just watched her digress slowly over time and telling her you're killing yourself when you eat that. You're genuinely hurting yourself. It's not safe anymore,” Kortenhoeven said.
