Lauren is still doing amazing! Almost 9 month of no seizures! She just finished up Pre-school and will be going to the Special Needs Kindergarten in the fall. With school out we are increasing her therapy but she still has some time to enjoy summer.
Below is a video I put together going through these past few years. This song has always touched me, so I wanted to use it to tell Lauren's story. Just a little warning, there are some videos of her having seizures in it(in case you don't want to see that).

Oh, Tami, I am a sobbing mess. I've just soaked two extra-thick tissues!

I wanted to watch this despite the warning you thoughtfully included. I was so traumatized by Jade's seizures, I never wanted to record them. I deliberately did not to take pictures after she'd get injured from a drop seizure, and we never tried to film a seizure. It seemed too awful to record it.

Now I wish I had, because this kind of record would be so valuable to share with Jade's kindergarten teachers to show just why we are so very, very strict about Jade's diet.

Watching that Lauren's myoclonic jerk started the tears, but the drop seizure had me bawling. The zoned-out, drugged-up zombie shell of a child... that was Jade.

There's a special place in my heart for both you and Lauren, Tami. When Lauren's seizures continued after Jade's disappeared, my heart broke for you every time you posted. I can't tell you how overjoyed I am that Lauren has been seizure-free for 9 months now.

Thank you so much for sharing this video, for all the pictures of your beautiful girl, for her story, an the beautiful gift of hope and faith.

(Tami, if you're on Facebook, would you look me up? I'm the only Fawn Fritzen out there, so it's easy to find me!)

I was doing OK until the drop seizure. God, I hated those. Like Fawn, I now wish we had recorded Jade's so we could show people what it was like. Thank you for posting this.

I'm hoping for all of you that 9 months of seizure-freedom becomes becomes 90 years (or more).

This video is so powerful and captures the severity of epilepsy. It was heart wrenching to watch another chill struggle the same as my own. I've noticed that it can no longer be viewed due to copyright issues. Even without the song, it is still powerful. Would you consider posting it again? I found it a powerful visual to those who just done understand the realities of Doose.

Just wanted to say a huge thank you to Dr Williams for everything he have done in my life. I have been in tears for so many years now, having found that my only son is suffering from seizure, lesion after some years of being under extreme stress., . I spent 24 hours freaking out and finally calmed down after reading some testimony on here about Dr Williams herbal medicine to seizure. The moment came and I mumbled out to my husband about Dr Williams product (with a few tears) and he was AMAZE – . He was just worried about our son been free from this disorder that was how will order for Dr Williams product on line , after my son finish taking Dr Williams medicine for just within a period of one month. Will went to the doc together who confirmed that he was seizure free.
Thank you again for being upfront, truthful and taking this pain away from my family for more information about his product you can email him on drwilliams098675@gmail.com i hope you can also help other terrified people in a similar situation.
