(CNN)An Arkansas father of a 1-year-old hospitalized with Covid-19 is telling people to get vaccinated so another parent doesn't have to face the uncertainty and fear that he's living with.


When Carter Butrum started showing cold-like symptoms last week, his parents got him tested for Covid-19. That test came back negative, but when the symptoms worsened Carter was tested again. This time, he tested positive.

Now the baby is in the hospital and has been put on oxygen. Carter's mother is with him, but due to the hospital's Covid-19 mitigation measures, his father, Kyle, and sister Kayden are unable to visit.

"But the gravity of the situation is there's nothing you can do to help me," he told CNN's John Berman Friday morning. "I can't go to the hospital, I can't even help him."

"The only thing you can do to prevent someone else from doing this is to get your vaccine so that another child doesn't have to do this, and another family doesn't have to send their kid away," Butrum said, crying. "So another father doesn't have to stand at the back of an ambulance and wonder if that's the last time you're going to see your son." .................................
