Something was very wrong with Kyle and Nicole Muldoon’s baby.
The doctors speculated. Maybe it was meningitis? Maybe sepsis?
They got an answer when KJ was only a week old. He had a rare genetic disorder, CPS1 deficiency, that affects just one in 1.3 million babies. If he survived, he would have severe mental and developmental delays and would eventually need a liver transplant. But half of all babies with the disorder die in the first week of life.
