Isabelle’s Fecal Microbiota Transplant

Isabelle Taylor is a 7 year old beautiful girl who has C-Difficile(C-Diff) off and on since she was 14 months old. C-Diff is a life threatening infection of the colon. In August 2019, Isabelle contracted C-Diff again. She has been on antibiotics and she still tested positive throughout that time. She has been referred to a GI doctor in Atlanta in Feburary this year. The family found out that she needed a fecal transplant, but her insurance denied the procedure. The insurance has denied the procedure because the procedure has not been approved by the FDA yet. C-Diff causes Isabelle to have severe stomach cramps, dirrehea, resistence to eating her pureed food, fever, breakouts on her bottom resulting in blisters and sores. There are times where she cries in pain and cannot be comforted. Having C-Diff cause Isabelle to not be able to leave the house. It has affected her life in a big way. Isabelle is not able to go to her occupational, physical, or speech therapies. For the past two years, Isabelle's school has not been able to send anybody out to her house, because their employees could catch C-Diff and spread it to their children.

Isabelle has been delayed in her developmental milestones, and she has not been able to go to her therapy. Isabelle is nonverbal, she has a G-J feeding tube, and has been diagnosed with SCN2A.

SCN2A encodes a neuromal voltage gated sodium channel found in the neutrons throughout the brain. The affected gene causes Isabelle to have seizures, austism, intellectual disability and more.

Below is a letter from her ABA doctor talking more about Isabelle's medical condition.
