Tune into Entertainment Tonight for more on Scott Baio's baby health scare

When Scott Baio and Renee welcomed daughter Bailey last November, to the outside world their lives seemed idyllic. Scott, whose notorious fear of commitment was fodder for the reality television shows Scott Baio is 45 ... and Single and Scott Baio is 46 ... and Pregnant, was poised to embrace first-time fatherhood and a life with Renee, his then-fiancée.  But when the phone rang the day after Bailey came home from the hospital, it was the couple's pediatrician on the other line bearing news that no new parent wants to hear. They would eventually learn that Bailey's expanded newborn screening (ENBS) test had returned a positive result for a rare and potentially deadly metabolic disorder known as glutaric acidemia type 1 (GA-1).
