Help Save Michael Bohay

Michael Bohay is a 4-year-old boy who has been diagnosed with tumors. These tumors are in his tongue, floor of his mouth, chin and throat. Michael has undergone multiple MRI's, CT's, and has had 6 surgeries. He went through his 6th surgery on his birthday, June 26, 2006. Michael does not have much of his tongue left. With this most recent surgery, Michael has close to nothing left, and he isn't able to speak very well.

There is, however, hope for Michael! There is a medical doctor in Colorado specializing in malformations, and he can save Michael from this condition! His name is Dr. Yakes, and has seen pictures of Michael's condition, and has said that he can help! Michael's medical insurance does not cover because Dr. Yakes is out of state.

For now, his mother will have to find a way to get Michael to Colorado and hopefully avoid subsequent surgeries. We are asking your assistance. We are hoping to gather funds to pay for the alternative, and less invasive procedures performed by Dr. Yakes.

This is an urgent request so PLEASE provide any information that may help save Michael's tongue and ultimately his life. PLEASE HELP!!!
