Stander:
Broc wasn't walking as early as a typical child would so we
used a stander which would keep Broc in a standing position
several times a day to help with bone growth.
DAFOs:Here
are some pictures of foot supports that Broc wore to help with
the positioning of his feet to help with walking. Also here
is a link to a video of Broc taking his first few steps. The
date of the video is June 12th, 2003 which is 3 days short of
being one year that Broc has had seizures. So as you can see
despite one year of seizures Broc does continues to develop
he just does it at his pace.
Helment: Seizures
and walking don't go well togeather and for that reason Broc
needed to wear a helment for a while.
Bed: For a time
Broc was getting up at night and our first indication was his
head hitting the floor from a seizure. Our first solution was
for him to sleep with us but we eventually got a canopy bed
which was wonderful for us and Broc both.
Swing:
Broc loves to swing. It's very calming for him.

Expressions of Courage Art Contest for kids with Epilepsy and
twice it has been selected for their coffee table book.
