Hi my name is Jennifer. I am raising my 1 yr old grandson Erik. Erik has been diagnosed with infantile spasms and epilepsy. Erik is on 2 types of medications he takes twice daily for his seizures. Praise God he hasn't had one in 5 weeks. His seizures can b pretty scary but Erik hasn't let his seizures slow his progress down. Erik was born blind and with hydrocephalus and at 1 day old he required brain surgery to have his BP shunt placed. Erik is n physical speech and occupational therapy 4 times a week and is doing amazing. He never gives up!
