Ja'bari now has skin on his head and some on his legs but none on his arms or torso, so he is being treated with frequent dressing changes and ointments to ward off infection, said his mother, Priscilla Maldonado.She said she and her husband, Marvin Gray, are undergoing genetic testing to confirm the diagnosis, since the disease is inherited.
She and Gray have two other children, ages 5 and 6, who are staying with Maldonado's mother while the couple keeps vigil over their baby.
