Michael Champine was born February 18, 2011, weighing in at 9 lbs, 7 0z. At 10 months, he was still only 18 lbs.  He does not gain weight like a normal baby should or have BM’s like he should. Most of this is caused by GI issues but there isn’t much that can be done.  He is just considered failure to thrive and acute abdominal issues along with a severe allergy to milk. He has been hospitalized 3 times and on one of those occasions the parents were told he possibly wouldn’t make it.

A few months ago they inserted a feeding ‘tube. The formula for this is $50 a can. As of Jan 1st, 100% of medical bills and prescriptions have to be paid by the parents. He goes to the DR at least once a week. We are doing the dinner
and auction with all proceeds going to the family for bills, prescriptions, gas, etc.
