Her symptoms of Left side numbness, weakness, no movement, eye weakness, shakiness, etc. She had been transferred from another hospital after having yet another seizure. She had collapsed on May 4th, 2021 and went into a seizure that let her in the hospital for a few days.
Unable to function or the same as she was before. Since that time she has had: over 350 seizures…( her, fiancé , family, friends has lost count)

And many more tests and procedures to help her cope and recover
