Eight-year-old Christopher Bowen of Dallas has reportedly been hospitalized more than 300 times and undergone 13 major surgeries and he may not have needed any of it.

The arrest of Christophers mother last week has caused some of the strange details of his story to come to light. In 2014, when Christopher was 5, his mother, Kaylene Bowen-Wright, told CW33 TV that he had a rare life-threatening condition that affected his oxygen supply. She said hed been diagnosed at age 2.

Christopher has trouble breathing so basically, his lungs and body doesnt get the oxygen it needs, so he gets tired, she told CW33 TV. He cant play as long as the normal kids.

The interview was conducted during a bike rally intended to raise $30,000 for Christophers care.

We dont know how long Christopher will live, Bowen-Wright said.
