Special Notice: Help in defraying medical expenses for MICHAEL D. BOHAY, JR
5 yr old Michael Bohay has been diagnosed with tumors in his tongue, the floor of his mouth, chin and throat. He has had 6 surgeries to date and as a result does not have much of his tongue left. A specialist in Colorado, Dr. Yates has seen pictures of Michael and has spoken with his mother Cynthia and said he can help Michael. Since he is out of state, Michael’s medical insurance will not cover the cost. We are working to gather funds for the alternative and less invasive procedure that will help save Michael’s tongue and ultimately his life. |

 Michael Bohay, who is now five years old, has been diagnosed with tumors in his tongue, the floor of his mouth, chin and throat called vascular malformations. He has suffered with this condition since he was a few months old.
Michael's lesions are actually abnormal clusters of blood or lymph vessels outside the normal circulatory system. As the lesions grow larger, they divert blood from the primary circulatory system, causing the heart to pump more than it should. Left untreated, the lesions can become life threatening. |
