Scott Baio and His Infant’s Medical Scare

Spicy — Tue, 17 Jun 2008 18:46:53 +0000

Scott Baio, 47, is opening up about the medical scare he and wife Renee Sloan, 39, had to endure with their infant daughter Bailey DeLuca.

Only one day after mother and child came home from the hospital, Bailey, who was born premature, had tested positive for a potentially fatal disorder.

“[I could] hear it in her voice,” Renee said of the call from the pediatrician asking them to bring their daughter in for further testing.

Preliminary testing had showed she might have GA-1, (a metabolic disorder that can cause seizures and leads to coma and even death) Baio said it was the worst day of his life.

“Every breath that you take, every thought that you have, every moment that you’re conscious, it’s all you’re thinking about. The disease is a constant in your brain. It never leaves you.”

Renee agreed saying, “Every time [Scott] would see a child, see a baby, he would just break down. It was so tough to go through the holidays, our wedding … all the while knowing, our kid may die.”

After an exhausting ten weeks of running tests, the couple was ecstatic to learn that Bailey was completely healthy and that the result had been a false positive. “We jumped through the ceiling,” Baio said.

Still, having sympathy for children and families afflicted with the disease, the couple have started the ‘Bailey Baio Angel Foundation’ to promote awareness.

“My parents were married 53 years, good and bad. Can I do that? Probably not. But I really hope I can. I don’t know, 53 years with the same human being? I can’t be around myself for more than three or four hours before I want to kill everybody.”
