Taylin (2) needs help in fight against numerous medical conditions

Taylin has spine and hip issues which make movement painful and also picked up dangerous respiratory illnesses.

Two-year-old, Taylin Ceronio, is fighting for her life with numerous medical conditions affecting her health.

She has been diagnosed with kyphosis (an excessive outward curvature of the upper spine), scholiosis (an abnormal side-to-side curvature of the spine) and as well as hip dysplasia. These conditions make movement extremely painful.

According to her parents, Cindy and Jethro, doctors suspect that Taylin may have an underlying genetic syndrome, and she urgently needs genetic testing to find answers and give her the right care going forward.

Due to these medical conditions, her immune system is also easily supressed. A result of this was her contracting RSV (Respiratory Syncytial Virus), which has been an uphill struggle to regain health.

She had to be admitted to Medi Clinic Potchefstroom for urgent treatment, and the medical bills from her hospital stay and ongoing doctor’s care have become overwhelming for her family.

“It has been a really difficult time and we would appreciate any assistance to help us as a family during this time,” added Cindy.

Taylin is currently as home with her parents.

Her parents opened up a Back-A-Buddy account to assist with her medical bills.
