When Layla was about four months old, her parents noticed she was fussier than her twin sister, and she was having a strange “startle reflex”. Layla ended up in the Emergency department at the Stollery Children’s Hospital where she had an EEG to scan her brainwaves. The neurologist on-call diagnosed her with infantile spasms, a rare seizure disorder. Medication helped to reduce the frequency of her seizures, but they were still happening every day. Layla’s neurology team worked hard to find the right medication to control her seizures. Read more about Layla's story and the expert care at the Stollery: https://lnkd.in/gr8CHWa5
