 Early on in the pregnancy, Adam and Dana Puharic were informed that Michael would face grave health problems due to
trisomy 13, a chromosome disorder which severely limited a newborn's chances for survival. However, they elected to be the best parents they could be for as long as their child was with them. Michael Gerard was born on July 29th, 2000.
