Carson was born on 9/29/10.  At 27 weeks gestation, the Champines found out that Carson had suffered a brain bleed and had incurred severe brain injuries.  He was not expected to live long after he was born.  Carson is now 1 1/2 years old and thriving.  He has hydrocephalus which is cared for by a shunt.  He is visually impaired and has cerebral palsy.  Carson is a joyful young boy with a ready smile and occasional laughs.  The family will use the support from Sparrow funds to pay for therapy and medical needs.
