More on Tiny Tim
Description from Wikipedia:
Tiny Tim (real name "Tim Cratchit") is a fictional character in the classic story A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens. He is the son of Bob Cratchit. The character is based on the invalid son of a friend of Dickens who owned a cotton mill in Ardwick, Manchester.
In the story, Tim is crippled and very ill, near death. Nevertheless, he is a very happy boy and is very much loved by his parents and siblings; he is best known for the line, "God bless us, every one!" His illness could be easily cured with the right money; however, Cratchit's low wage from Ebenezer Scrooge does not provide the funds to do so, and Cratchit dare not ask Scrooge for help.
When Scrooge is visited by The Ghost of Christmas Present he is shown just how ill Tim really is. When visited by The Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come all he sees of Tim is his crutch, as Tim has died. This, and several other visions, lead Scrooge to reform his ways. At the end of the story, Dickens makes it explicit that Tim did not die, and Scrooge became a "second father" to him. According to some other versions of the Christmas Carol, Tim Cratchit eventually gained health by Scrooge's money, and later became a successful businessman. When Ebenezer Scrooge died, he became the only member of the Cratchit family to attend his funeral.
Dickens did not reveal in the book what Tiny Tim's illness was, but renal tubular acidosis has been proposed as one possibility.
