Child with Epilepsy has life changing Brain Surgery - Matthew's Epilepsy Success Story

Miami Children's Brain Institute is home to the largest number of pediatric neuroscience subspecialists in the nation. Many of these experts have achieved international renown. The institute serves as a beacon to families confronting the uncertainty of a child with a brain disorder, offering the latest treatments and assessment techniques available at few other centers in the nation. In fact, many of the institute's most notable successes are in children who could not be helped elsewhere.

Matthew is doing very well. he is taking piano lessons. He has some learning challenges but we are working on them. He is totally seizure free and medicine free since his 2 year eeg. Thank you for asking. Families be sure to always seek the best help you can find for your child. My only recommendation it to the Brain Institute at Miami Children s'.
