Kaitlyn was diagnosed with epilepsy at just five months old
Despite numerous medications, her seizures increased over the following year. So much so, that learning to walk became an impossible task. Her parents knew there was only one place to turn, so they brought Kaitlyn to the specialists at University Hospitals Rainbow Babies & Children’s Hospital.
As the number one ranked children’s hospital in the Midwest, the experts here are regarded as among the best in the nation. With leading edge technology not found at other children’s hospitals, UH pediatric neurosurgeons were able to successfully remove the small section of her brain causing the seizures.
Today, Kaitlyn is seizure-free. New challenges, like graduating to orange belt, are no match for her fearlessness.
