I've decided to start this blog to honor Rohan, my wonderful 8 month old son! He has been through so much in his life already, but luckily he will have a lot more of healthy and happy days ahead of him. Rohan was diagnosed with Infantile Spasms, a rare form of epilepsy on October 2, 2007. Since then he was hospitalized three times for three different treatments. The last medication (ACTH) worked to stop the seizures. He was given this medicine for 6 weeks, developed some transient side effects because of it, but now is done and doing wonderfully. His development is progressing as well!
After going through something like this, it was difficult to keep our spirits up initally. It was very hard to take things day by day, as we were told. I am happy to report that now my outlook on life is very different. I am thankful of every day my child is healthy without seizures. I will never take for granted all of the moments that we share as a family. I've learned that prayer is much more powerful than I could have imagined...as are supportive friends and family. The acts of kindness that I have witnessed renewed my faith in mankind.
So this is now Rohan's place to shine...to show everyone how amazing he is...and I'm so proud to be his mother!
