RICHLAND â In talking to Hideki âDekiâ Long, you discover a typical 6-year-old.
His favorite food is âlegsâ â as in the baked chicken variety. He loves Paw Patrol, his excitement over a robot toy that talks AND moves is infectious, and he hopes to get a big car he can drive for Christmas.
But the chipper Richland first-grader has a harder time these days not breaking down when things donât go his way, said his mom, Laurie Long.
