Mattie's initial surgery failed, leading to organ failure and a coma, after which she survived and received a liver transplant in September 2023 at 10 months old. ^[1] Michael and Allison Beacham's daughter, Mattie, was born at Orlando Health in December 2022 but was later diagnosed with biliary atresia, a condition causing blocked bile ducts that can lead to liver failure. ^[2] Under Florida law, if a hospital admits liability and chooses arbitration, non-economic damages are capped at $250,000, a figure the Beachams' attorney says is insufficient for Mattie's lifetime medical needs. ^[3] GROW Healthy Kids distributed more than 1,200 recess kits to 41 K-5 public schools across nine Central Florida counties. ^[4] Attorney Steve Maher reviewed Mattie's medical records and found a blood test from her third day of life showing direct bilirubin levels more than 10 times the laboratory's normal reference level. ^[5] Colleen Gonzalez explained that the 20-minute recess window allows children to socialize, problem solve, negotiate, and get oxygen to the brain, which helps them learn better. ^[6] Colleen Gonzalez, founder of GROW Healthy Kids, stated that the initiative impacts almost 23,000 children. ^[7] The nonprofit is now in its ninth year of operation, supported by donors and corporate partners including Orlando Health, Orlando Soccer Foundation, Enterprise Mobility, Good Sports, and Amber Brooke Farms. ^[8]
