Susan opened up about how proud she is of how her daughter handles Brendan’s condition. “Liza has given Brendan a mantra really,” Susan told ET at the time. “She would say to him, holding him by his arms and saying, my legs are tight. ‘So what?’ She’s raising a full total human being. He’s such a wonderful boy.”
