Helping Baby Khaizyn Overcome Botulism: A Journey of Hope

Dear Friends,

I'm reaching out with a heavy but hopeful heart to share the journey of my son, Baby Khaizyn, who has been courageously battling a rare and severe case of botulism since he was just three weeks old.

Botulism, a devastating illness caused by a toxin attacking the body's nerves, struck Baby Khaizyn with unexpected ferocity, leaving us grappling with fear and uncertainty. The onset was swift, and within hours, our tiny baby was fighting for his life in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU). Botulism is so rare there is 1 CDC per country to handle cases, in our case they contacted the CDC of California for specialized assistance. It was a race against time, but with their expertise and the urgent delivery of the life-saving anti-toxin medication "BabyBIG," Baby Khaizyn's life was spared.

However, we are on the road to recovery which has been anything but easy. Baby Khaizyn faced multiple episodes of respiratory failure, each one testing the limits of medical intervention. The cause of his exposure remains under investigation, adding an extra layer of complexity to our journey. Through it all, we've held onto hope, celebrating every small victory and cherishing the moments of progress, like when we saw his tiny toes wiggle for the first time after weeks of uncertainty.

With heartfelt appreciation,

Daisy- Mommy of Baby Khaizyn
