THank you to the many who have responded to my post. I plan on contacting
the mom tomorrow and asking more questions. It seems that the most numerous
two guesses are neurological disorder and botulism. My question concerns the
latter--- how quickly does botulism hit, and can it "drag out" subtly? This
baby is 4 mos old and, if I recall correctly, this has been going on for at
least a couple of weeks now. Would botulism still be a viable possibility?
