Michael was a very premature infant (born at 24 weeks gestation).
He suffered a long and complicated Intensive Care course over many
months. His problems are numerous. He struggles with cerebal palsy,
partial sight in only one eye, severe speech/language impairment,
developmental delays, and behavioral disorders. His nutrition and
growth are major concerns, as he has failed to thrive normally.
At four years old, he weighs only 23 pounds.
Michael is one of three children and is fascinated with lights
and noise.
