3yo boy is facing a long recovery after COVID infection on a family vacation

CJ came down with a high fever & headaches. "At that point he was unresponsive & having seizures," Mercado said.

CT scans revealed CJ's brain was swollen. Doctors diagnosed him with Acute Demyelinating Encephalomyelitis. Inflammation destroyed the protective sheath surrounding his nerve cells.

Within 12 hours, CJ could not walk or talk.
