what was wrong with tiny tim in the christmas carol

Tiny Tim was a sickly young boy who was the subject of the last chapter of the novella. He was the youngest son of the Cratchit family and was constantly sick and weak. He had a deformed spine that kept him bedridden most of the time, but he was still a kind and cheerful boy. Despite his illness, he was still a beloved member of the family and was greatly missed when he passed away.
