Oh no! Tip toe through the tulips with Miss Vicki.

Actually, if Tiny Tim suffered from vitamin D deficiency, then his entire family should have shown symptoms too. Tim's mother probably breast fed him for some time after birth, and she had enough vitamin D through breast milk to nourish him. I've always thought that Tim had a genetic predispositioned medical condition. The Crachit diet would have had enough milk, cheese, and cream to supply enough vitamin D to all, hence no symptoms in the father, mother, and older siblings. It could be that Tim developed a renal condition due to genetic variation in his physiology creating susceptibility that other family members did not have in their genetic makeup.

Anyway, God bless us every one.

He walked with a crutch. This suggests a bad leg.

Either that, or his father, Bob Cratchit could only afford one shoe.
