The mother of viral TikTok star Preston Ordone, known for the “Okay Baby” videos, has provided a health update following a tragic car crash that claimed the life of her 2-year-old son. Katelynn Ordone took to social media to share that she has been discharged from a Louisiana hospital, while her husband Jaelan remains hospitalized.
In a heartfelt video message, Katelynn expressed her gratitude for the outpouring of support from fans and well-wishers during this difficult time. She appeared wearing a medical brace around her chest, shoulders, and neck, indicating the extent of her injuries from the April 24 accident.
Despite the heartbreaking loss of their son Preston, Katelynn and Jaelan have been uplifted by the love and messages of support they have received online. Preston’s infectious personality and his signature catchphrase “okay” had endeared him to millions of followers on TikTok and Instagram.
The fatal crash occurred when the family’s 2011 Ford F-150 pickup truck veered off the road and collided with a tree. While Preston’s parents survived the accident, authorities suspect that the toddler was not properly secured in his car seat. However, Preston’s grandfather, Glen Norris, vehemently denies this claim.
The Ordone family continues to mourn the loss of their beloved son while navigating the challenges of recovery and healing. Preston’s legacy lives on through the memories and joy he brought to countless people through his endearing videos and presence on social media.
As the Ordone family continues to cope with their unimaginable loss, the support and love from their online community serve as a source of comfort and strength during this difficult time.
