Since March last year, her son, Liam Karp, has been doing distance learning from home.
Liam was born with primary ciliary dyskinesia, a condition that causes abnormal cilia finger-like projections on cells surfaces that remove bacteria from the body. As a result, he suffers from chronic pneumonia, ear infections and other illnesses.
Taylor, of Sparks, said her son has been in and out of hospitals his entire life. His body can t fight the common cold or flu, and he s constantly taking antibiotics.
So far, Taylor has kept her son safe from the novel coronavirus. But the pandemic has brought on new challenges for her and her family, and she s seen her son deteriorate in other ways.
