One day


For most forms of epilepsy the earlier in life the seizures begin the greater the chance that the child will grow out of it. Boys are more likely to have epilepsy than girls. Approximately three-fourths of children with epilepsy can completely control their seizures with medication and 70% of children who have been free of seizures for two years will remain seizure free without medication for the rest of their lives. We're looking forward to just one day without seizures.

We never lose hope because miracles do happen. We've seen it with our very eyes. We've seen Damonito recover when even the doctors have given up. He's been comatose and resuscitated, we've seen the forlorned looks of the hospital staff, they've even called in the chaplan. Somehow he's managed to find his way back.
