1-year-old Amahd Black suffered major burns on nearly 40% of his body after a freak accident that involved Vicks VapoRub and a candle. Parents of the infant from Atlanta, Georgia witnessed this horrifying incident through their nanny cam, says Li.

Baby Amahd was then rushed by his dad to the hospital that day. He was transported by a helicopter to a pediatric burn unit in Augusta which was three hours away from their home in Atlanta. A GoFundMe page was also created to help support the family’s medical bills.
Baby Amahd’s Long Road to Recovery
“I just told him that I love him and he’s so strong,” Golightly said. The family takes turns driving back and forth to Augusta to be by baby Amahd’s side all the time until he regains consciousness. Amahd was sedated for his initial recovery and officials declared that he is expected to be hospitalized for at least three months, as reported by Ross.
