A baby boy who was set on fire in a freak accident involving a candle has spent 45 days in the hospital, including a month in an induced coma, recovering from severe burns on his neck, chest, and arms. But the bubbly boy has been wanting to return to normal from the get-go, giving his parents an extra boost of hope for the future.
Mom of four Rochenda Golightly from Cobb County, Georgia, was attending a birthday party with her oldest son, 11-year-old Joshua, on Nov. 12, 2022, when her then-17-month-old son, Amahd, fondly known as “Bubby,” had an accident. Bubby clambered onto a kitchen chair, near a candle. He had a topical ointment on his skin for coughs and colds and when he approached the flame, he caught on fire.
