Children's of Mississippi Kid Captain of the Week: Tobias Taylor
September 26, 2018 | Football
Kid Captain is a partnership between Children's of Mississippi and the Mississippi State Bulldogs to salute pediatric patients. Their inspirational stories remind us just how truly courageous these young people are. This week's Children's of Mississippi Kid Captain is Tobias Taylor of Nesbit.
Tobias Taylor – Nesbit, MS
Tobias was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis at six weeks old. Since that time, he has overcome a lot in his four years of life, including four surgeries and hospital stays.
Cystic Fibrosis is a life-threatening, progressive disease that affects the respiratory and digestive organs. Currently, there is no cure. To help him live with this disease, Tobias adheres to a strict medical regimen.
Even with daily lung treatments that total two hours, Clay and Whitney, Tobias' parents, say he lives like a normal, rambunctious kid.
Tobias loves all things outdoors. He enjoys playing at the park, swimming, and going to Mississippi State football games!
Have fun at Saturday's game, Tobias! Your friends at Children's of Mississippi are cheering for you!
