If you’re a parent, you may already know about the disturbing uptick in an illness that causes paralysis and weakness in young kids.
The disease, called acute flaccid myelitis, is rare but it usually pops up in young, healthy children.
There is no cure for the illness, but doctors continue to find new ways to give kids back some of what they’ve lost.
Courtney Hunter explains how in Healthy Living.
Dr. Moore has treated 13 children with ten more scheduled over the next two months.
Three of those children are now out of a wheelchair and walking.
Others are regaining mobility and the hope is they will continue to improve with time.
Since 2014, there has been an uptick in AFM cases every other year.
