Mavrick had his first seizure when he was 11 months old and since then has had countless seizures, ER visits, ambulance rides, PICU stays, all kinds of tests and scans and after all that he was diagnosed with a RARE form of Epilepsy, SCN8A. As if an epilepsy diagnosis wasn’t hard enough to handle. Google SCN8A….it’s heart breaking! Thankfully Mavrick is one of the less severely effected but he’s also one of very few, Less than 170 kids, in the world identified with SCN8A which can and often is Life Threatening. Thanks to medication Mavrick’s seizures are well controlled at this time and for this we are very thankful.
