Even better news for the day . . . this morning I got a call back from the University of MN's Neurology dept - they wanted to hear Kaiden's story and asked for this blog address!! I am really excited that somebody in the medical community finally listened, and maybe, just mabye this will go somewhere and can help others - either with benign myoclonic seizures, Down Syndrome, or both!
The last date posted for Kaiden's accomplishments was June 25th. Here's the most recently updated additions to the list!!
