David was diagnosed with Epilepsy on October 16, 2006.  He also has many other issues, resulting from the epilepsy.  It took ten years for his parents to finally receive this diagnosis.  Doctors had been treating the symptoms and not the cause, which was seizures.

David almost lost his foot to a severe staph infection in the Spring of 2006.

He struggles with school because his memory is poor.  He has been misunderstood by many; but through it all, he maintains a gentle soul.  He always strives to do his best and believes the best about others. He's in special classes at school, where he can learn at his own pace. 

Because of his subtle seizures and the effects of his necessary medications, David has difficulties with alertness, endurance, speech, and consistency.  He must modify his life to deal with these challenges.

 David receives speech therapy as well as occupational and physical therapy.  He wants to be a train engineer when he grows up.
