A family has turned to the Internet to help them solve a medical mystery involving their 10-month-old son.
The Scott family, of Ottawa, Canada, created a website, WhatsWrongWithWyatt.com, hoping that someone may recognize their son’s problem or have some type of solution, according to ABC News.
When Wyatt Scott was born, nurses realized something was wrong when his mom couldn’t get her finger into his mouth, according to the family’s blog.
Doctors believe there might be a muscle problem, but ABC says to find out Wyatt would have to be sedated. Anesthesiologists are wary to do that because they wouldn’t be able to monitor his airways, since Wyatt can’t open his mouth.
A writer for the Ottawa Citizen says Wyatt is currently being fed through a nasal tube, but his parents hope doctors will soon be able to insert a tube through his abdomen wall to feed their son that way.
Amy and Scott are currently teaching Wyatt sign language in case he won’t ever be able to speak. They told the Ottawa Citzien that Wyatt already understands some basic signs.
