Diana,

Your post is very detailed and very educative. I believe that it will help hem them understand the current health condition of their infant. botulism is curable disease, if the medical treatment is promptly initiated and the dangers associated with this ailment could be avoided. I agree that if after your intervention, the parents continue to take the child home, calling Child Protective Services would be the best route to ensure this patient is properly treated. Great
