Thank you. My girl was typical developing healthy child until she caught encephalitis at 18months. It left her with severe brain damage and seizures.

She has had Botox injections but her muscle tone has already caused scoliosis and some hip issues. We've been fortunate that she's required no surgeries yet other than her Gtube. But the back and muscle issues I guess are inevitable. Her seizures are finally under control but we follow the medical marijuana developments.

Have you looked into stem cell treatments? That's really the hope for us, is there'll be some breakthrough soon on that front. There are a few doctors doing it, mostly not in the US, but it all seems so...experimental.

We had complications during labor that caused the brain damage. We also deal with the scoliosis and hip issues.

What helped us the most with muscle tone was a Baclofen Pump. Went a long way to just helping him be comfortable.
