With the Rockets off on Christmas, forward Sam Dekker used his free time to brighten the holiday of a girl visiting Houston to receive medical treatment.

The second-year pro appeared unannounced in the room of 17-year old Grace Trumpower, who had come to Texas with her mom within the week in search of a specialist to help with her rare arthritic condition.

According to a story in the Sheboygan Press, Trumpower had seen dozens of doctors before she rode 18 hours in a car with her mother, Juliann, to come to Children's Memorial Hermann Hospital.

Dekker and Grace Trumpower met when Dekker showed up in her room as part of his visits throughout the hospital.

@dekker We really appreciated you coming by to see my daughter on Christmas morning. Very giving of you. Big Dekker fans for sure. pic.twitter.com/h4M0C2qRBV — Erik Trumpower (@etrumpower) December 25, 2016

"Grace was pretty upset about being here for Christmas," Juliann told the Sheboygan Press. "I said, 'Sometimes something good might come out of it.'"
