Medicine and More Meds...

Most individuals with Angelman Syndrome will have seizures.  Statistically, I believe it is 80%.
There are many different types of seizures. They can range from major convulsing to a simple stare or head drop.  Because of this range many different anti-seizure medications may be prescribed to try and find what works for the individual.  Unfortunately, more than one medication is sometimes needed.

Here are the cocktail of meds my son takes twice a day.  Two anti-seizure meds, sleep meds, Cod Liver oil for Omega vitamins and a Gluten/Dairy/Sugar Free multi vitamin.




Here are meds from another sweet Angel friend of ours, Ethan.  This is only part of a four day supply.  

Here is more cocktail meds for another sweet Angel friend named Nick.

Our kids take so much medication. We want our kids to have a better quality of life.  

Vivint is having an online competition and will be donating $250,000 to the charity with the most votes.  The Foundation for Angelman Syndrome Therapeutics (FAST) is in the lead! (Yay!)  Today we are closer to a cure more than ever before.  AS has been cured in the mouse model.  This is promising for our kids.  But we need your help...
