Jonathan is 15 years old and was
diagnosed with Epilepsy at 2 years of age. Because he is
allergic to most anti-seizure medications, he has gone through three
brain surgeries. However, he still suffers from seizures,
every night while he sleeps.
A Vegas Nerve Stimulator was implanted in
Jonathan’s chest in hopes of aborting some of the seizures. This
appears to help infrequently.
Unfortunately, Jonathan’s cognitive
ability has suffered, due to the constant seizing. His development
is at a 4 to 6 year old level. He will always need support and
encouragement from his family and others in the community.
Jonathan loves to be with his bother and two
sisters, as well as his Grandmothers, Aunts, Uncles and Cousins.
He LOVES to receive mail.
The most exciting part of his day is waiting for the mailman to come
or going to his PO Box to pick up his mail. He also loves to do
graphics on the computer. He enjoys creating pictures and greeting
cards on the computer as well. Jon likes fishing and treasure
hunting with his dad. He loves to collect pirate material and
ships.
