It’s been more than four months since the Scott family launched WhatsWrongWithWyatt.com to find out why their baby boy can’t open his mouth, and though they’ve been flooded with emails, their little boy’s condition remains a mystery.
Wyatt Scott turned a year old earlier this summer, but he ate his birthday dinner through a tube in his tummy.
It’s been more than four months since the Scott family launched WhatsWrongWithWyatt.com to find out why their baby boy can’t open his mouth, and though they’ve been flooded with emails, their little boy’s condition remains a mystery.
Wyatt’s lockjaw has baffled doctors since he was born in June 2013 in Ottawa, Canada, and though the Scott family has taken him to every specialist imaginable, they can’t figure out the root of the problem, Andrew Scott said. Wyatt spent the first three months of his life in the hospital, and his parents have had to call 911 several times because he's been choking and unable to open his mouth.
So Wyatt's mother, Amy, decided to create a website, WhatsWrongWithWyatt.com last spring in the hopes that someone would recognize the condition and offer a solution.
"It's an unusual situation where he can’t open his mouth, and there’s no kind of obvious reason for it," Vaccani, a pediatric otolaryngologist at Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario told ABC News. "Otherwise, he’s a healthy boy."
Andrew Scott said he’s sifted through 500 emails submitted to WhatsWrongWithWyatt.com over the last several months, and compiled a list of the most important ideas to give to Wyatt’s doctors. One letter-writer from Virginia told the Scotts that Wyatt’s story made her cry because her now-14-year-old had similar mysterious symptoms.
"She could have written it herself," Andrew Scott recalled her saying.
Though the Virginia 14-year-old underwent surgery and therapy, Andrew Scott said Wyatt seems to have something different.
