8 - Cured!!!

From 6 months of age to 14 months we were in and out of Dr. Clarke’s office and had several MRI’s and EEG’s.  He began to show major progress in his development at 12 months.  Shane was weaned off all his drugs except for Topamax.  At 14 months of age he began to wean off the Topamax.  By 16 months Shane was developmentally on track but not yet walking unassisted. 

Dr. Clarke ordered his last series of tests and Shane was found diagnosed as cured of his epilepsy!!!  Shane began walking fully at 18 months.  By age 2 he began showing signs of advanced cognitive abilities and was charting with developmental milestones of a 3 ½ year old.

Life went back to normal!
