Tayten St.Martin is from Fall River, Mass. followed closely by many different Doctors and specialists at the Boston childrens hospital.
Tayten was diagnosed with a rare genetic syndrome before birth, called 'Kabuki syndrome.' Tayten was born with multiple abnormalities due to this syndrome. This syndrome has attacked some of his major vital organs, including his heart & kidneys. Tayten has had 10 operations (surgical history provided excluding his most 2 recent operations 8/2024 & 11/2024) and over a dozen hospitalizations since birth. This little warrior isn't done yet..
Regardless of the repetitve challenges Tayten faces, he is always in the happiest of spirits. Tayten is so full of life and love. He hasn't let any of his challenges stop him! Tayten enjoys singing (humming) his favorite tunes, dancing and playing everything like it's a drum. Kabuki kids love music. This boy has a way of touching your soul, he's truly an angel on earth. He loves being affectionate, he smiles from ear to ear when others give hugs or kisses in front of him. He waves "hi" to everyone, and he always wears a little dimpled smile on his face. Tayten is the light in a dark world. We want to protect him, & keep that light burning bright for as long as possible.
Some never make it to their Transplant procedure due to lack of funds and/or finding a donor in a timely manner.. that cannot be this little guy. On a positive note, Taytens Doctors have expressed that 'children are priortized' on the waiting list. Taytens family wants to make sure they are ready for it, when it is ready for him. Thank you.

In this picture, Tayten had to unexpectedly take a Med flight from Fall River to Boston, they wouldn't allow mom to ride with him and he was scared 😔 To butter him up to become their friend, the EMTs gave Tayten a cute little teddy bear and he felt much more comfortable on this new ride 😊
Tayten was featured in the "We ❤️ Children" brochure at their 2024 celebration.
