Missing school doesn't seem to bother the boy as his father explained. "He gets help with his work from Nikki Wiggins after school Tuesdays and Thursdays and in the summer to keep him on track." Though the young boy has lived only a decade, he doesn't let the 24 surgeries (plus kidney transplant and expects to have another) or his condition get the best of him. "He knows what he has to do and makes the best of it," said Lee. "He's always

His father said he fully participates in gym class and recess at school but that cars are his "thing." "He really likes cars," he said. "He checks them out online.
