Initially suspecting reflux or colic, the family sought care at Cardinal Glennon Children's Hospital in St. Louis, where a series of tests and procedures revealed a complex and unresolved condition. Maverick underwent MRIs, scopes through his nose, chest and brain X-rays, and surgery to remove extra tissue in his throat. Doctors also placed a nasogastric tube to assist with feeding, conducted a brain scan to rule out mini seizures, performed extensive bloodwork, and sent stool samples to California to test for botulism.
