100's Mystery Seizures daily Dayton 9yr Maui Boy
Doação protegida

It progressively got worse until he was finally able to go see his pediatrician, who even she said she was not sure what was going on. He was referred to a pediatric neurologist asap. He met with the neurologist and during the appointment he had 2 episodes of seizures.
He was immediately setup with an MRI and EEG, which could not be done on Maui because he had to be sedated through the procedure. The MRI was normal but the EEG showed he was having 100's of seizures that were not visually being seen. Those seizures they were able to pin point it starting in the frontal lobe of his brain. The ones that we could visually see were off the chart and even the neurologist was baffled because he said there was no real location they started from, his brain was firing off signals from everywhere. This was on Friday, June 14th, 2019 the testing was done and he was immediately admitted to Kaiser Hospital in Oahu. Since June 14th he has been on 11 different seizure medications and so far none have worked. We stay hopeful everyday, by 10 pm as he falls asleep, the seizures start and go on every 10 to 12 minutes for hours given another medication. Until he is seizure free he could potentially hurt himself if left unattended, creating 24/7 supervision.
Dayton is no longer able to swim, or bike or even walk out of the sight from someone he knows, in case the seizures come on.



To get a puppy trained and tested to become a certified medical assistant canine for seizure detection would cost a hefty amount.
Help is needed to be able to afford this.

1. Get them by until Mom can go back to work full time
2. Help pay the medical expenses and medications that are extreme.
3. To get the funding needed to have a canine for Dayton.
Having this would help give him the quality of life an 8 year old boy needs
