For this young princess her seizure disorder began at just 8 months old. Her first hospitalization involved hours of driving, 3 separate emergency rooms, numerous doctors, EEG, MRIs, and a battery of other tests where they learned that she was born with only half her corpus callosum – the part of the brain that connects the 2 hemispheres and allows information to transmit from either side of the brain. This now 6 year old, grade 1 girl, has been through numerous harsh medications, hospitalizations, special diets, new clinical trial drugs, and is now looking at surgery to try to control her seizures.
Despite all she and her family have been through, she is a happy and well adjusted little girl. She loves reading and showing off her Highland dance moves. She has no fear, loves roller coasters and playing dress up with her little sister.
Alberta Dreams cannot wait to send this young girl and her family to Disney World to ride roller coaster, throw a coin into the wishing fountain, and hang out with princesses.
