This is an udpate on Kaci Caves' Story in 1999, a couple of years after her Hemispherectomy Brain Surgery. Kaci suffered from a rare Neurological Disease called Rasmussen's Encephalitis. The treatment to stop intractible seizures was a Hemispherectomy. Kaci had a left hemispherectomy. The left side of the brain is usually responsible for speech as in this case.

We saw Kaci on the set of The Doctors in 2008. She is very smart and attractive young lady. There is a Youtube video (4 parts of that show on Youtube) Search under Hemispherectomy.
